What would a Doctor Who movie be like if directed by the following directors...

[Coco Pops]

OK what might a Doctor Who movie be like if we gave it to any of the following movie directors?

George Lucas
Michael Bay
Paul W Anderson
Stephen Spielberg
Lars Von Trier
Paul Verhoven

[rushy]

Lucas's version might have awkward romance, but he knows what he's doing. It'd be an exciting adventure, I have no doubt.
Michael Bay would die of a nervous breakdown because they already blew up the universe.

[Quizziard]

Michael Bay would open by blowing up the universe, then using clunky sci-fi to resurrect it. Only for it to blow up again, starting with the White House.

George Lucas and Steven Speilberg would be very similar, family friendly, but Lucas' would have clunky dialogue, a kid-friendly CGI alien, and the Doctor would have a very bad feeling about something. Speilberg would film from a child's point of view.

Verhoeven would be 18 rated, the violence, nudity and sex extreme, probably intra-species, with a political sub-text.

Ah darn it now you have me wishing for a Verhoven Doctor Who movie

[Quizziard]

Of course, we could play this game for a while.

What about:

Tim Burton
David Lynch
Peter Jackson
Wes Anderson
Antoine Fuqua

Would like to see a good challenge posed by Q to the Doctor by Micheal Bay and one or two scened directed by Lynch.

Knowing the Doctor I'd say he and Q are probably buddies

Q tends to be capricious to the point of malicious, something I don't think the Doctor would agree with.

Yeah maybe but I'd say the Doctor knows Q.... Or has met him. I think they'd get on well.

[Coco Pops]

Ooh what about the guy that did District 9 and Elysium or Tim Burton?

[rushy]

Yeah maybe but I'd say the Doctor knows Q.... Or has met him. I think they'd get on well.

I disagree. Remember the Celestial Toymaker?

[Coco Pops]

I've never seen that story

[cosmichobo]

I've never seen that story

There's a whole 25 minutes of it that still exists... Thankfully the last 25, so you at least get an ending, though a beginning would be nice, too.


Michael Bay

Every other scene would involve David Tennant running down exploding corridors with a sexy girl by his side wearing a bikini for no particular reason... (Worked for JN-T too) And the inbetween scenes would have unconvincing attempts at plot...




Paul W Anderson

Can't say I knew this one, but IMDB tells me all I need to know... He would go for a Cyber movie... using this design...

Spoilered for those of a weak disposition... (seriously)

Spoiler:

Paul Verhoven

Well, didn't he already do an episode? Surely he directed A Town Called Mercy? All about a time travelling half man half robot seeking revenge...




For the win though...

George and Stephen, together again

Ok, I'd hate it with a passion, but so long as they were working together, I'm sure Speilberg could temper Lucas' enthusiasm just enough to make something special... Imagine the Cushing films, but good!




If we had to have an American Doctor, my only choice is Johnny Depp... and maybe Ed Norton for the Master...

[Coco Pops]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!


Johnny Depp playing the Doctor just no...... ugh

[Quizziard]

If Johnny Depp is the Doctor, Tim Burton is directing and Helena Bonham-Carter would be the mature assistant...
