Spider-Man 3 Adds Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange

New DVD release, , , ,
Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is set to become a game-changing addition to the increasingly perplexing ensemble being assembled for the yet-to-be titled Spider-Man 3. Indeed, the habitual usage of “made-up names” now seems likely. The film, following up on Sony Pictures’ Marvel Cinematic Universe-crossing version of Spider-Man, as played by Tom Holland, will see Cumberbatch reprising his role as Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme, according to THR. Moreover, the report confirms a notion regarding the addition of Doctor Strange that seems to be obvious, namely that it will fill the crucial gap of a mentor to the young hero left in the…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Series 13 may be a long way off yet (the BBC is still hopeful for a late 2021 air date, and hoping for filming to take place before the end of 2020, Covid-19 chaos notwithstanding), but it’s not long until Doctor Who will be back on our screens. As teased at the very end of the series 12 finale, “The Timeless Children,” the next episode will be one-off special “Revolution of the Daleks”, which is due to air over the upcoming festive period.  Released as part of this year’s online New York Comic-Con panel, see below for a couple of first-look images…

Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones Fills in A Key Part of Whovian History

New DVD release, , , ,
In a media landscape where it is possible for those with expendable income and a good internet connection to access pretty much any TV they want whenever they want, it’s a unique and interesting dilemma for an episode of television to be inaccessible to literally everyone on the planet. However, this is the reality with which Doctor Who fans must live, as 97 (of 253) of the series’ first episodes continue to be “missing,” a benevolent euphemism for “probably ironically lost to time.” While some of Classic Who‘s missing episodes have been found over the last few decades (and a…

Doctor Who: How Will the Audio Series Mine the Potential of the Eccleston Era?

New DVD release, , , ,
The fact that Christopher Eccleston is doing more Doctor Who for Big Finish productions, is exciting stuff. Considering Eccleston had a mixed time on Doctor Who – loving the character and the response of the younger audience especially, but playing the part while ill and disagreeing with the production team – it is also unexpected. Having appeared at a few conventions and bumping into some of his successors recently, Eccleston seems more at peace with his legacy. It was a difficult time for him personally, but what an impact he has had on Doctor Who. As mentioned here, casting an…

Doctor Who: Christopher Eccleston Returns for Big Finish Audio Dramas

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Ninth Doctor is coming back to the TARDIS, more than 15 years after Christopher Eccleston quit the newly revived Doctor Who after just one series in the lead role. BBC Studios and Big Finish have announced that Eccleston will lead the cast in a series of new audio adventures, the first volume of which is due to arrive in May 2021.  The behind-the-scenes difficulties that led to Eccleston’s exit from BBC One’s Doctor Who in 2005 are no secret, adding extra interest over the years to the regularly raised question of any potential return. Unlike his successor David Tennant, who returned alongside previous…

Colin Baker on the Spiritualism of Doctor Who

New DVD release, , ,
It’s February and I’m at Capital Sci Fi Con in Edinburgh, sitting next to Colin Baker. The day before, I’d brought my young sons to his table for an autograph, where he’d entertained them with all the bluster, bombast and larger-than-life loquaciousness we’d all come to expect from the Sixth Doctor, even if the man in whose gaze they were held transfixed was wearing a slightly older face, and a significantly less colourful jacket than they were accustomed to seeing. For today’s interview, Baker is thoroughly shorn of his Sixth-ness, and seems more like the lawyer he once trained to…

The Teleprompter Interview: Laura Carmichael ‘Doctor Who Used to Give Me Nightmares’

New DVD release, , , , ,
Australian thriller The Secrets She Keeps, currently airing on BBC One and iPlayer, takes the audience to a very dark place says Laura Carmichael. Her character Agatha, a supermarket worker who befriends a pregnant blogger, ‘does such unbelievable things, the most irresponsible things’ driven ‘by the impulse of motherhood’. Building a crime thriller around that impulse makes the series relatable, says Carmichael. At its heart, the show is about ‘wanting to be a mum and wanting to be the perfect mum.’ As her character’s backstory unfolds, ‘you understand her’ says Carmichael, though ‘she absolutely puts people through hell.’ Whether Agatha…

Labyrinth Sequel in the Works, Doctor Strange’s Scott Derrickson to Direct

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Jim Henson’s 1986 classic fantasy film, Labyrinth, has achieved something that its initial box office performance would never in a million years justify: a sequel. TriStar Pictures is set to take moviegoers back to the world of fairies, goblins and baby-napping glam-rockers who put on random musical numbers within the confines of enormously ominous oubliettes, with a sequel to Labyrinth now officially in the works, according to Deadline. Additionally, the studio has already found a creative team to tackle the project, tapping a director who’s put in work exploring appropriately labyrinthine fantastical worlds in Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson. He’ll…

Revival: New Stephen King Movie to Be Adapted by Doctor Sleep Director

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Mike Flanagan, the horror auteur behind The Haunting of Hill House and last year’s theatrical version of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, is attached to yet another King property: the 2014 novel Revival. Deadline reports that Flanagan will write an adaptation of the novel for Warner Bros. Pictures “with an option to direct,” so he’s not confirmed yet to do the latter.

Revival has been acclaimed as one of King’s better recent novels, and at 405 pages, one of his…

Confirmed! Sam Raimi Directing Marvel’s Doctor Strange 2

New DVD release, , , , ,
It seems like a million years ago already but it was only in February that reports surfaced about Marvel Studios possibly approaching legendary director Sam Raimi to take over Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Raimi — director of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man trilogy and mastermind of the Evil Dead franchise — was said to be in talks to helm the Sorcerer Supreme’s second solo adventure following the departure of the first Doctor Strange’s director, Scott Derrickson, last year. There has been little news on the Doctor Strange 2 front since then, except for a release date shift and…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Tucked into a recent Variety article about the challenges movie studios are facing when it comes to starting or relaunching production on a number of tentpole films was this little nugget: “The biggest film in pre-production that has yet to move its start date is Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Pre-production has continued remotely on the superhero film, and sources say it is still on track to start shooting in June.” Like every other studio during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marvel has recently shut down: while the kick-off to the MCU’s Phase 4, Black Widow, is completed and…
