Johnny Depp is Dr Who - we think

Rumors are circulating that Johnny Depp has been cast as the Doctor in a big screen adaptation of the long running series, Doctor Who. Russell T. Davies, the former lead writer for the show, is supposedly penning the movie version.

"Bringing the Who franchise to the theaters is a regeneration for the character beyond the usual one. A theatrical release has a greater range and can reach millions of more people than just the fans," said Davies.

"There will be brand new concepts and the film will be just as adventurous, scary and humorous as the television programme. But none of us working the film will forget what makes the character great and interesting and the long-time fans will not be disappointed because yes, the Daleks make an appearance."
