SyFyPortal, usually reliable, recently reported on the idea that there would be a new Doctor Who movie. Unfortunately the article > was based on an old Empire article written in 2005.

So any rumours you've heard of a movie in 2007 are currently unfounded.

Russell T Davies has stated that he doesn't want to make any movies while the TV series is running. As he only plans to do the TV series for 5 years, that means that, unless someone takes it over, Doctor Who will end in 2010 and we'll probably get a Doctor Who movie in 2011.

Many fans would like there to be a movie starring Paul McGann, featuring Daleks and the Time War but, for the general public, and ratings, how will this work? For advertising and marketing, and to create a profit, if there is a movie it'll star Billie Piper and David Tennant as they're currently the most recognisable actors in Britain today. This may change when the movie comes around as Freema is certainly showing her starlet status, giving awards at Bafta ceremonies etc.

So, at the moment, there is no Doctor Who movie in the works. As there have been plans for a Doctor Who movie since the last one in the sixties, I wouldn't hold your breath!

Here are the current rumoured plot summaries.

1. Doctor Who - The Time War We see the 8th Doctor fighting the Time War alongside the Time Lords. Several Gallifreys are destroyed, as well as another couple of Skaros. The black hole that powers the Tardii disipates, its energy exhausted. The Doctor is the only one to escape, regenerating in the process. 2. Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth Rose and Torchwood on her version of Earth find a way to create stable wormholes between universes. While searching various dimensions she discovers the 10th Doctor in a war with the Daleks.

4. The Four Doctors
The 4th Doctor has aged and is in trouble. He calls together 3 of his other selves and they fight the Master, the Daleks, the Raston Warrior Robot, the Cybermen and any other monster that can be pulled in until they can get time back onto the right path and return the Doctor to his youthful state.

5. Doctor Bond
With his gadgets and his talking console, the Doctor has taken a job working for the secret intelligence service of Britain. He must defeat a terrorist attack on Great Britain and, after much running, jumping, climbing and martial arts fighting, he shoots some terrorists, only to find they're really from another planet and the bomb threat was just a diversion.

6. Return of Doctor Who
A regular Doctor Who story but with a very young 1st Doctor. A showdown on the Titanic, and a hologram of the 7th Doctor appears and says that he had to restart the universe and only the new Doctor can save the situation now.

Hmm, maybe the 8th Doctor Time War idea is the best we've got so far!

More news as we get it.
