Johnny Depp to play Dr. Who in Americanized movie?

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 | Sci-fi | 2 Comments

Johnny Depp to play Dr. Who – Thats the buzz going around. But is it just a rumor? That seems up in the air at this point. Here is what’s being said:

-Russell T. Davies reported that the reason he moved on from the show was due to the opportunity to transform the Doctor to the big screen.

- Movie studio sources confirmed with Tor.com today that, while it can’t comment on possible story elements, the casting of Johnny Depp as the Doctor for a 2012 film is confirmed.

Here is what I would like to know….why Americanize it at all? Americans who love Dr. Who love it the way it is. Why should it change to appeal to the masses? House hold name? Dr. Who IS a house hold name. Anyone whos anyone knows who the Doctor is.

So why Americanize it? They didn’t Americanize Harry Potter. It was filmed in England (and surrounding areas) and all of the European lingo and culture remained. The same should be done with Dr. Who – it should be David Tennant or Matt Smith to play the Doctor..not Johnny Depp even though he is brilliant.

It’s a book within a book, within a book, within a book, within a book, within a…Get it?

Each book covers different subjects such as locations, characters, design concept so on and so on. The smallest book holds a “key” which is really a USB drive with images that can be used in print.

I couldn’t help but wonder about something. I checked Ebay, no kits on auction yet. Give time, im sure there will be someone, somewhere who will look at this “press kit” and see $$$$.

Hobbits to Isengard? He’ll be back, and more Sci-Fi goodness!

Where do I start?

Christian Bale out, he wont be playing Batman in the next edition. Oh good, I can’t take more of that..yelling? What was that? No word on if Cher will play Catwoman. THAT’S RIGHT. If you didn’t know she is/was being considered for the role. They were thinking kind of an aging vamp kind of thing.

Rebecca Romijn has been cast for the Eastwick pilot. She will play Roxie, the lead character on Eastwick. Er uh..wha? No Alexandra, Jane or Sukie? Is this going to be like I was speculating before? Different set of girls leaving it open for guest spots by Cher, Susan Sarandon or Michelle Pfeiffer? Hmmm?

‘Star Wars’ Live-Action TV series casting is underway! Light sabers ahoy! “According to Lucas, the show will focus on minor characters from the saga and be set in the time period between “Revenge of the Sith” (Episode III) and the original “Star Wars” (Episode IV). The action will follow the Rebel Alliance as it slowly gains strength against the Empire. There will be Stormtroopers, but no Jedi or Darth Vader will appear on screen. As he did with the “Clone Wars” series, Lucas will write and shoot an entire year’s worth of episodes before looking for a cable channel on which to air the series.” – MTV Movie Blogs NO JEDI WITH LIGHT SABERS? Ok, not worth watching :(

Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee) Has said he is on board for an appearance in the upcoming Hobbit movies. But his character wasn’t in the books. Who know Astin, maybe good ol’ Sam can start the first movie off by telling Bilbo’s story to his children. At the end, he could stop and tell them it’s time to go to bed. The next day the kids insist he finish the story, intro for the second movie. There ya go!

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a Cameo in the new Terminator Salvation bu according to Arnoldfans.com – The governator’s role is being hyped up to be more then it is for publicity.

Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter???

We’re going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him,” Diesel said in response to a question from SCI FI Wire. “So you’ll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive.” – Vin Diesel. Thank you Vin for confirming that we get to see another installment to the story of Riddick. Thank you also for letting me know the first half of the movie sounds..hmm I don’t know.

And why not..
