No! No! sorry but i honestly think all actors who play the Doctor should be British! as in English, Welsh or Scotland i love you Johnny but if you or any other american actor fantastic or not i would turn my back on the movie :( my opinions i'm not even keen lon Hollywood getting their paws on this licence... Doctor Who is and should always be British...
Johnny Depp is a great actor. He's done dozens, maybe hundreds of fantastic roles and I can't think of a single one in which he wasn't amazing. But not the Doctor. The Doctor requires a particular sort of person. As much as I admire Johnny Depp as a human being and as an actor, he is not the sort of person to play the Doctor. End of discussion.
@TinkerGlow10 Kicking and screaming all the way :D it's not that I don't like him as an actor, he's a good actor! I just... well. Read all the other comments my likeminded people are putting out :D hehehe
I just don't see what all the fuss is about... JOHNNY DEPP IS AN AMAZING actor!!!!!! he could do it and do it BRILLIANTLY!! you just have to accept him!! At first I didn't like Matt I just had to accept him (Don't get me wrong.... DAVID is the WAY better Doctor) but to enjoy Doctor Who you have to accept the DOCTOR!! WHOEVER it may BE, EVEN if it is JOHNNY DEPP!!!
@TinkerGlow10 meh. haha, now i'm just being annoying. We'll see. I couldn't tell you I'd like Matt so much until I'd seen a season or two with him. So we'll just have to see.
And there is ONE more season before the movie... Soooo... they could easily make Matt Regenerate, (actually there is rumor that Matt will be leaving soon) :D
@TinkerGlow10 Currently Matt has no plans to leave who anytime soon he released a statement saying he was not following Gillan and Darvill out the door... The rumour for the movie is that it's a completely seperate universe too the TV series and thus would unlikely follow any sort of continuity... David Tennant once said he'd be honored to return for a movie so if this movie goes ahead my monies on Tennant being the doctor...
You don't introduce a new Doctor through a movie. To incorporate regeneration, the last 11 Doctors, the Time War, the main villainous species, the TARDIS, and the Doctor's companion in a 2 hour film would be hard to do for any director, and, if done, odds are it wouldn't be done well. The last Doctor Who movie was good because they used the 8th Doctor, and made it a continuation of the series; avoiding the issue of reintroducing all of the main points of the show. This wouldn't be the case.
This is not happening. Steven Moffat said it wasn't happening and I'm glad it isn't. Because even though I love Johnny Depp and I love Doctor Who - and I think Depp would make an excellent Doctor, it isn't fair to the series.
This is news reporting at it's worst. I can't remember what network reported it but I will stay clear of it from now on, because they report on idle gossip and not facts. If this were about something serious then it could have been dangerous. I suggest you do the same.
It's best that they get actors who no one knows about, or are somewhat known to play the Doctor. having Johnny play the doctor, it would not be Doctor WHO because he might put Jack Sparrows into it.
The moment Matt Smith stuck his head out of the TARDIS and asked for an apple I thought 'Yes. He'll be great.' Unfortunately Steven Moffat's writing has not done him justice.
I could see Alan Rickman as the doctor (he was in the group for potential ninth doctor)' but for fuck sakes keep if british! And I better see a police box.
Notice how we all say no to every different actor that takes over from the previous veresions of The Doctor. We did with Chris-David-Matt and the others,lets just wait and see its all speculation, you never know they may this time prove us wrong and give us a bloody good send off.
Hmmm... I have mixed feelings about this rumor... I am apprehensive about a non-Brit in the role, to say the least... *HOWEVER* (and this is for all the nay-sayers/haters): *IF* they were to go with a non-Brit -- for recognition/bankability reaasons -- then Depp is definitely the go-to man for the job: he has the right kind of quirky attitude, is an *excellent* actor, and (most importantly) would *not* do it if he didn't think he could do it well... time will tell, won't it...? ;)
If they're going 2 do a movie, they should have Matt Smith since he's the current Doctor. Reason 4 Matt 2 do it because his TV intro would look good on the big screen.
I don't know, I'm sure the same was said for Smith, Tennant, and Eccleston. Frankly I'm now curious to see how Depp would handle the role. The worst that could happen would be another Dr. Who 1996 movie that fans would forget in a few short years.
"David Tennant has done it. Matt Smith is doing it." Whatever happened to William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, and Chris Eccleston?
I would not want to see Depp join the list. I just don't think he'd be good. And I'd really hate to see them bring someone in just for the movie, as that would require them to fire the incumbent Doctor and then find yet another one to resume the TV continuity.
He has the potential to be a good Dr Who but I think it should be left in Great Britain. Dr Who is British & a British actor should play him. Even though Johnny can do the accent & he is funny & has the energy for the role, he does not have a certain way about him that all the others do
& this will ruin for me how I like to say I have tastes for 2 DIFFERENT things - Johnny Depp & Dr Who. other ppl like to see their 'obsessions' put together but for me it's like they're not what they are anymore
That would be awesome, although I'm sure it won't happen. Hypothetically, though? AMAZING!!! And I think he really likes Doctor Who. Read it somewhere. Anyway. Even though Americaness wouldn't go well with Doctor Who, and American versions of things usually ruin them... a bit, The ones that don't happen to mostly have Johnny Depp in them. Except the Tourist. Not too sure about that.
i don't care who plays the doctor i never really knew who matt smith was before he was the doctor but...JOHNNY DEPP!? DOCTOR WHO MOVIE!? THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!!
Well I mixed emotions about this because I've already grown attached to Smith. I mean I love Depp and HE would be perfect for it. Then again I don't want to see Doctor Who be Americanized. So over all I'd have to say this is not something I want to see happen. Now a I'd love to see one of the Doctor Who specials released into theaters :D!
God no. I love you Johnny but stay the fuck away from the Doctor. However I'd LOVE to see Tennant come back as the Doctor. A Time Crisis with him and Matt Smith on big screen...WOOT WOOT.
Why is everyone so angry? It isn't definite and Johnny Depp can do accents quite well. And you know Matt Smith has to leave sometime. Johnny could do it in between. I'd be happy.
William, Patrick, Jon, Tom, Peter, Colin, Sylvester, Paul, Christopher,David and Matt. Shouldn't it be traditional to have a different named actor play the Doctor each time. Why can't we have a Gary or a Robert?
God no! Keep Matt Smith as the Doctor! We want a multi Doctor Movie with everyone from Tom Baker to Matt Smith not Tom Baker to Johny Depp! As an American I am ashamed of the idea!
If this happens I will see it. Simply because I'm a sucker for anything Doctor Who, good or bad. Kind of like how I play every Final Fantasy game I can get my hands on. I've been hooked and I'm not letting go, no matter who plays the Doctor.
well I would like to see Johnny Depp in the role ~~~ who cares if he isn't british~~ good grief!! Might be a good change and I never really liked any of the others.
why does it have 2 b bout theyre owr shows. pps dr who filmed over here. shows should b enjoyed period. we have loths of things going over there and vice versa. cant we all just get along
yah cuz we know johnny is horable in the unique role. and we all know theres none as basic as the doctor. hed be great, been watching him since nightmare 1. differance scared people. i kno
Well, it would only be fitting as the series is heading for it's 50th birthday in 2013. But, Johnny Depp would be a rubbish choice as the eponimouse time lord. Don't...just don't. Since the last American effort to produce a Doctor Who episode proved rather...silly, I would be very sceptical of any renewed effort stateside. America, hands off our Who! Haven't you got Star Trek to play with?
as a huge fan of JD i would love to see him play the part! he would be a great fit for it :) but i have just grown to adore matt just as much as i do david and i really dont wanna see him leave so soon! i say if ur gonna do a movie you gotta either do one that features JD matt and david as The doctor in some weird paradox or just keep matt!
I think he could pull it off easily enough, but you'd want movie quality, not tv quality because dr who is kind of renowned for cheesy effects and low budget. But if he did do a movie quality version, the series would probably look kind of second hand afterwards.
I don't like the show, anyway, but I think J.D. could easily play the doctor. Would love to see a 'good' dr who without all the politically correct BS and ballcrushing.
Heres my idea for the movie, Make it like The three Doctors, The five Doctors, The two Doctors, Dimensions in Time mixed with The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Army of Ghosts/Doomsday etc and have Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann and Peter Davison as the Doctors and have all the companions back in it and for the Villains have The Daleks, The Cybermen (Both Mondas and Parallel), The Sontarans and of course The Master and make this movie the 50th anniversary of Dr who :)
Hey! R.T. Davies! If you really want to give us something let McGann play the Doctor as he fights the Time War and at the end make him so disgusted with his actions (even though he had no other options) that he shaves his head and donns a leather jacket BEFORE he regenerates. War ..is ..hell! So don't let the audience forget that! The Doctor I'm certain secretly wishes to forget it. Give us a Gallifreyan Private Ryan.
In fact bring in Paul McGann! He is a fine actor and he never got his fair shake! Show us the Friggin Time War! Give us some Continuity! And stop pandering to the children-I love seeing all the kids makin their homemade consoles a postin vids on youtube and all, but-Does everything have to be all Rollercoasters & Eyecandy?!?!?
I like Depp as well, BUT if Davies seriously considering this he may as well dig up Spike Milligan and have him Playing the Master on puppet strings wiping his arse with the Sash of Rassilon!
Matt Smith has said that he won't sign up for a third season. I actually didn't like Matt as a Doctor, but maybe that was because I still loved David Tennant as the Doctor. Yet, when I heard this news I felt extremely uneasy. I'm sure JD can make a good Doctor (considering his character as Jack Sparrow was brilliant), but he also runs the risk of severely ruining the show. It will be a great success or a great failure. (The accent shouldn't matter since the Doc changes each time he regenerates.)
@elenore88 Well, he has his first season which is already out and is currently filming his second season, but allegedly he will not do a third... Or at least that is what I was lead to believe from an interview of him. Yet, BBC-like you said-has claimed that he's signed for a third season. Hmmm, is it just me or do you find it a bit odd when you go to google and type in "Matt Smith" you'll find loads of random searches that people have done.
omg i would actually see that if johnny is cast as the dr i dont care what anyone says johnny deppp is a fantastic actor and he would do the character justice british or non british .
NO! I refuse to even think about accepting these lies! There is no bloody way that Johnny Depp would make a decent Doctor. I love Johnny Depp, don't get me wrong. He had better not play the Doctor though. That would be complete rubbish!!! The Doctor must stay British, or Scottish in the case of David Tennant. Either way must be from the UK!
Well he's off filming Dark Shadows, I he should make a much better Barnabas over being the Doctor. If someone is going to make a movie use David Tennant or Matt Smith. Even Christopher Eccleston would be a better choice. Sorry Johnny.
I don't have any squabble with Johnny Depp and I don't have much of a grudge on American media (most of it anyways)
But just the fact that America BELIEVES it's able to just throw in any popular actor from their place & just assume he/she will be a perfect fit for a movie based on a brilliant British TV show just comes off as cheap
Oh really the fact you go to my spelling shows you know i right and dont fucking forget the 8th doctor movie was filmed in us and the companion was american so fk you dont be so biast god people like you that cant move on now yur either a little kid who thinks hes amazing or a adult that lives alone with now girlfriend so i say to you trololololololollollol
David Tennant is my favorite Doctor but I sure would'nt mind Johny Depp as the Doctor.I think he would bring Doctor Who to an all new level.As for the acent Depp can pretty much do anything so I would trust him with it.
What are u on about!? Johnny depp isn't to old! And his accents amazing! He can do loads of other voices anyway so he can be the doctor. People said he wouldn't be a good pirate mmm he's one sexy pirate and he whipped yet another brilliant voice out of nowhere! So there give him a chance. :3
Johnny Depp is a great actor and I love his films, but David Tennent was, is and always will be the best Doctor. Russell just needs to write a script for him about the time war. Either way The Doctor must be british! Besides if Depp steps in what will happen to the TARDIS? I just can't see a British Police call box in the US. Being American but an anglophile at heart..."IT'S JUST NOT DONE"! It would be like putting ketchup in your coffee ooops tea! Lets see how Depp screws up Dark Shadows!
@Timelord2011 You can't possibly be serious! RTD is a fantastic writer, with much more intellectual nuance to give the script. I like Matt Smith, but I constantly get the feeling that the show is down to the level of Degrasse High. Matt's just too young! I understand the demographics and all, but to me DT will always be THE DOCTOR!
The beauty of doctor who is that the doctor can be anybody. He can be any color, NATIONALITY, size or even gender but one thing he always need to be that he have to be amazing. Doctor who is and always will be British icon but it doesn't mean the doctor have to be British.
Uh....Eh-eh! This American believes that the good Doctor MUST BE from the UK- not the US. I love Johnny Depp, and he's a really good actor. Just not the guy I'd like to see playing the time traveler. Put it this way: the idea of an American playing the Doctor is like having a Brit playing Matt Dillon (James Arness) in "Gunsmoke". NOT A GOOD IDEA!
He's not a bad actor at all; personally, I think the guy is brilliant. But if there's going to be a Doctor Who movie, it needs to be left to David Tennant or Matt Smith, it's as simple as that. I've been hearing that Tennant was supposed to be given a movie deal for this anyway.
I would like to see Paul McGann play the role of the doctor again especially if the movie is about the Time Wars, which it should be. Ether way i don't think Depp would make a very good doctor putting aside his nationality.
NO NO NO NO I'm sorry, I love Johnny Depp, but Doctor Who is such a big part of British culture and vice versa, British Culture really feeds back into Doctor Who, I think you need a real true Brit (or Scott :D love david) to play the Doctor
I love Johnny Depp and think he would have the perfect eccentricity to play the doctor, seeing as he's done many roles playing that same kind of character. However, I understand when people want the doctor to stay British, but I don't think Johnny Depp would do a bad job if given the role.
As an American fan of the show, I say that Doctor Who should stay in the hands of the Brits. It's something specifically ingrained in their culture and i wouldn't want us to fuck it up through Americanization. I like Johnny Depp, but he's not my first choice for the legendary timelord. Let Matt Smith do it. He's doing an EXCELLENT job as it is.
@vfortune1 well not every doctor was british. David Tennant wasn't and I'm not sure if Paul Mcgann was either. Tennant had to fake his accent and Depp has done that in the past. I think Depp would make a great Doctor.
@taylorx10 I know for a fact that David Tennant is scottish. If you hear him in interviews he has a scottish accent. He faked his english accent for Doctor Who.
@dommell100 I never said he wasnt Scottish, but he is also British. Britain consists of England, Scotland, and Wales. So anyone from those countries are British.
Matt Smith:No. No. No.NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO . I WILL NOT DIE!!!. DO YOU HEAR ME? A billion years of Time Lord history riding on our backs. I WILL NOT. (End of Time reference)

If this happens I will see it. Simply because I'm a sucker for anything Doctor Who, good or bad. Kind of like how I play every Final Fantasy game I can get my hands on. I've been hooked and I'm not letting go, no matter who plays the Doctor.

Well, it would only be fitting as the series is heading for it's 50th birthday in 2013. But, Johnny Depp would be a rubbish choice as the eponimouse time lord. Don't...just don't. Since the last American effort to produce a Doctor Who episode proved rather...silly, I would be very sceptical of any renewed effort stateside. America, hands off our Who! Haven't you got Star Trek to play with?

Tom7Burton 8 months ago
I think he could pull it off easily enough, but you'd want movie quality, not tv quality because dr who is kind of renowned for cheesy effects and low budget. But if he did do a movie quality version, the series would probably look kind of second hand afterwards.
I don't like the show, anyway, but I think J.D. could easily play the doctor. Would love to see a 'good' dr who without all the politically correct BS and ballcrushing.
elenore88 8 months ago
Heres my idea for the movie, Make it like The three Doctors, The five Doctors, The two Doctors, Dimensions in Time mixed with The Stolen Earth/Journey's End, Army of Ghosts/Doomsday etc and have Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann and Peter Davison as the Doctors and have all the companions back in it and for the Villains have The Daleks, The Cybermen (Both Mondas and Parallel), The Sontarans and of course The Master and make this movie the 50th anniversary of Dr who :)
JackWProductions 8 months ago
Hey! R.T. Davies! If you really want to give us something let McGann play the Doctor as he fights the Time War and at the end make him so disgusted with his actions (even though he had no other options) that he shaves his head and donns a leather jacket BEFORE he regenerates. War ..is ..hell! So don't let the audience forget that! The Doctor I'm certain secretly wishes to forget it. Give us a Gallifreyan Private Ryan.
midianallmighty 8 months ago
In fact bring in Paul McGann! He is a fine actor and he never got his fair shake! Show us the Friggin Time War! Give us some Continuity! And stop pandering to the children-I love seeing all the kids makin their homemade consoles a postin vids on youtube and all, but-Does everything have to be all Rollercoasters & Eyecandy?!?!?

Matt Smith has said that he won't sign up for a third season. I actually didn't like Matt as a Doctor, but maybe that was because I still loved David Tennant as the Doctor. Yet, when I heard this news I felt extremely uneasy. I'm sure JD can make a good Doctor (considering his character as Jack Sparrow was brilliant), but he also runs the risk of severely ruining the show. It will be a great success or a great failure. (The accent shouldn't matter since the Doc changes each time he regenerates.)
TaraAnhTran 8 months ago
@TaraAnhTran wiki says that he's just signed up for another 14 episodes. that makes another season doesn't it or am I missing something?
elenore88 8 months ago
@elenore88 Well, he has his first season which is already out and is currently filming his second season, but allegedly he will not do a third... Or at least that is what I was lead to believe from an interview of him. Yet, BBC-like you said-has claimed that he's signed for a third season. Hmmm, is it just me or do you find it a bit odd when you go to google and type in "Matt Smith" you'll find loads of random searches that people have done.

Johnny Depp is a great actor and I love his films, but David Tennent was, is and always will be the best Doctor. Russell just needs to write a script for him about the time war. Either way The Doctor must be british! Besides if Depp steps in what will happen to the TARDIS? I just can't see a British Police call box in the US. Being American but an anglophile at heart..."IT'S JUST NOT DONE"! It would be like putting ketchup in your coffee ooops tea! Lets see how Depp screws up Dark Shadows!

@Timelord2011 You can't possibly be serious! RTD is a fantastic writer, with much more intellectual nuance to give the script.

I understand the demographics and all, but to me DT will always be THE DOCTOR!

The beauty of doctor who is that the doctor can be anybody. He can be any color, NATIONALITY, size or even gender but one thing he always need to be that he have to be amazing. Doctor who is and always will be British icon but it doesn't mean the doctor have to be British.

Uh....Eh-eh! This American believes that the good Doctor MUST BE from the UK- not the US. I love Johnny Depp, and he's a really good actor. Just not the guy I'd like to see playing the time traveler. Put it this way: the idea of an American playing the Doctor is like having a Brit playing Matt Dillon (James Arness) in "Gunsmoke". NOT A GOOD IDEA!

He's not a bad actor at all; personally, I think the guy is brilliant. But if there's going to be a Doctor Who movie, it needs to be left to David Tennant or Matt Smith, it's as simple as that. I've been hearing that Tennant was supposed to be given a movie deal for this anyway.

I love Johnny Depp and think he would have the perfect eccentricity to play the doctor, seeing as he's done many roles playing that same kind of character. However, I understand when people want the doctor to stay British, but I don't think Johnny Depp would do a bad job if given the role.
mmg1195 9 months ago
As an American fan of the show, I say that Doctor Who should stay in the hands of the Brits. It's something specifically ingrained in their culture and i wouldn't want us to fuck it up through Americanization. I like Johnny Depp, but he's not my first choice for the legendary timelord. Let Matt Smith do it. He's doing an EXCELLENT job as it is.
