Talking about Harry Potter<\/em> director David Yates’ proposed Doctor Who<\/em> movie reboot<\/a> to Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a>, current showrunner Steven Moffat said definitively, “I don’t think he was ever signed to it. [I] never signed him, so he’s not.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s [expressed] an interest in doing it and he’s a very fine director, and I think he’d certainly be someone that would be on the list for directing such a project. I’m a big fan of his. But the project as he describes it would not happen.<\/p>\n

“That whole proposal was not true,” Moffat added. “I can say that with authority because, as far as the BBC is concerned, I’m the voice of\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>. So if I say it, it’s true.<\/p>\n

“The BBC own\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>\u00a0and, for the moment, I run it for them. So I can assure you definitively that was all nonsense \u2013 not the idea of making a film, we’d love to make a film, but the idea of a rebooted continuity, a different Doctor.”<\/p>\n

Doctor Who<\/em>\u00a0Series 7 is\u00a0airing late August on BBC One HD and BBC America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
