According to this story in Variety it looks like there will be a big budget film version of Doctor Who hitting the big screen soon. They signed up David Yates as director, no doubt based on his last four movies (the last 4 Harry Potter films to be specific), and Jane Tranter, currently head of L.A.-based BBC Worldwide Productions and formerly in charge of the Doctor Who reboot in 2005. Thanks to SF Crowsnest for the heads up on this one.
