Reports circling this morning suggest that the much-mooted Doctor Who movie could be about to be announced at the forthcoming Comic-Con in San Diego. Already we know that the Doctor Who team are sending a panel for the first time, and now the rumour is that it will be used as a platform to announce the first big screen adventure for the Time Lord in many decades. Given that Primeval has already been confirmed for a big screen adventure, there's thinking that it was only a matter of time before Doctor Who would get its chance.
It had been reported already that Russell T Davies had had meetings in America, although whether they were Who-specific or not had not been confirmed. Yet the presence of Davies and David Tennant at the Comic-Con event does indicate some smoke to his particular fire. We already know, as BBC Films had previously confirmed it, that a script for a feature film is in development, and the BBC would presumably be keen for Tennant to take on the big screen adventures, given just how popular a Doctor he's become. He, of course, has all but done filming for his small screen tenure in the role.
BleedingCool is, furthermore, reporting that director Euros Lyn - who has helmed Torchwood: Children Of Earth as well as several Who episodes - has been approached to call the shots on the movie. It suggests that the film could arrive in 2011, and that Russell T Davies would be penning the script.
We'll keep an eye on this story, obviously, and with Comic-Con kicking off on July 23rd, we suspect we haven't got long to wait to find out if it's true or not...
