Okay, Johnny Depp is a great actor so *maybe* it would work but I have a feeling it may end up being a flop... that happens oftene nough

On the one hand Depp is a good shout and would fit the part well enough i guess on the other hand: What`s wrong with Matt Smith? He`s done a brilliant job considering he was a complete nobody before

Wait, what? Don't get me wrong, I like Johnny Depp and all... but why can't they go with the current Doctor? Unless there's a good explaination for that, otherwise, I'm not so sure...

If it isn't fake, I won't even watch it no matter what happens. The only way I would watch a Doctor Who movie is if it was Tennant playing The Doctor in a story that of course occurs before his regeneration. I would also watch if it was Matt Smith, but I am not crazy about him, i.e.(This season's finale was crap, worst ever.)

The reason I wouldn't watch it if they do go through with what the article said, is because it wouldn't be cannon. It is the whole reason I won't watch the movies from long ago called "Doctor Who and the Daleks", and I don't remember the name, "some other one with Daleks". The only thing Doctor Who about those are that they have Daleks. The person playing The Doctor was someone non-cannon, and it is said that in those movies that the Doctor is just a human, no timelord, and is just a scientist.

I hope it won't count as canon like the last one, poof, one less regeneration after one more movie.

Perhaps it's the young first Doctor? an "Origins" film, I could handle, and it's been vastly unexplored other than through snippets of conversation... how he stole the Tardis, his exile, everything. Hmmmmmm?

Well Johnny Depp is a very good actor, so I think he could pull it off.
The only way it would be good is if it was someone that already has played or is playing The Doctor.

If they pick someone new, it is automatically crap, because it will be non-cannon. I jumped for joy when Russell T. Davies relinquished control over to Steven Moffat. But it looks like Davies is mucking it about again trying to ruin things for fans....for money. As from the Davies quote from the article, he said it would reach more than just fans. The only reason that would be wanted is to get money.

Actually the 8th Doctor Paul Mcgann, had quite a long run as The Doctor, of course he only showed up on film in the 1996 movie, but he had a long run on the radio. Doctor Who did go off the air on television in 1989 but it continued on the radio until the tv resurface in 2005. And I believe it is still on the radio.

Captain Jack Harkness can never be upstaged by Captain Jack Sparrow. But really. Depp? That seems to be a huge stretch to have him as The Doctor.

Hm. Speaking of the Daleks, what's the current status of the Daleks? I haven't seen the new season yet.

Wow, is there any movie Johnny Depp isn't in these days?
I just hope Tim Burton doesn't end up directing.
Yeah, that would be horrible! If they MUST make a Doctor Who Movie, let the Brits do it. The Yanks just can't do Brit remakes. (men behaving badly, coupling, EEKS!)

NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Johnny Depp is shit! Doctor Who is NOT!

What the hell is wrong with using Matt Smith anyways!?

And WHY are people saying RTD has DW? RTD has NOTHING to do with DW anymore.

Amusingly Moffet even said himself that Americans getting their hands on DW would be a slap in the face to the series.

Although considering this has yet to appear on an actual trusted website for DW news I'm calling bull.
the amount of swearwords i could add to this forum following the word "no" would be so large that if you could line up an list of swearwords written in 8pt font,from the center of the earth to the black hole from which Satan resides, and you would only be about as close to how i feel as two weeping angels would be to the end of a staring contest.

Johnny Depp and Doctor Who are as compatible as a DALEK in the SISTERS OF MERCY!!!!
