Who News: Matt Smith will be back for 8th Season of Dr. Who

16 hours ago | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

 

The BBC has renewed the ever-popular sci-fi show Doctor Who for an eighth year, and series star Matt Smith has confirmed that he’ll be back for another year in the Tardis.

 

There has been months of speculation about whether Matt Smith—who plays the current incarnation of that perennially popular time traveler known as the Doctor—would be bowing out of the role after the 50th anniversary special later this year. Well, let the guessing game end. Matt Smith has officially signed on for season eight of Doctor Who.

 

It was no big surprise when the BBC renewed the popular show for the 2014 season, once again under the supervision of show-runner Steven Moffat. The only real question was whether or not Smith would use the hoopla surrounding the 50th anniversary as his cue to step aside for the next Doctor. It turns out he didn’t, so don’t »

First Look at Tom Hiddleston as a Vampire in Only Lovers Left Alive

21 hours ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

A set of photos have surfaced for Tom Hiddleston's new "crypto-vampire love story" called Only Lovers Left Alive, and it gives us our first look at the Avengers star as the vampire Adam, as well as Tilda Swinton as Eve.

The images come from The Playlist, and the story follows "an underground musician who's deeply depressed by the direction of human activities. He reunites with his centuries-long lover, Eve (Swinton), though their idyll is soon interrupted by Eve's wild and uncontrollable younger sister Ava (Mia Wasikowska)". 

Set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier, an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister. Can these wise but fragile outsiders continue to survive as the modern world collapses around them? »

The pics come courtesy of Indiewire, who describe the film as the story of Adam, "an underground musician who's deeply depressed by the direction of human activities.

Doctor Who: top 11 "other" Doctors

21 May 2013 1:11 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature Cameron K McEwan 22 May 2013 - 07:00

Cameron gives us the run-down on 11 other versions of the Doctor, featuring robots, Dream Lords, and more...

Warning: contains a major spoiler for The Name of the Doctor.

With the curtain-closing, hair-raising Doctor Who finale in the past and now but a fond memory, The Name of the Doctor threw up a new Doctor Who for us all to enjoy (and rampantly speculate about for the next six months). But this is not the first time fans have had to unexpectedly encounter a new, or "other" Doctor. Here's my favourite eleven below (apologies to Richard Hurndall and all the Morbius Doctors, you just missed out). 

11. The Fatal Death Doctor

Okay, this is a slight cheat but if you want to know why he's on the list, I'll explain later. Steven Moffat penned a delightful Doctor Who mini-story for Comic Relief back in 1999; a »

Doctor Who Will Launch An 8th Season

20 May 2013 2:28 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

The BBC knows a good thing when they see it. Case in point, the wildly popular sci-fi series, Doctor Who has been officially renewed to come on back for an exciting 8th season. This isn’t the only news wrapped up in the long running series’ bag of goodies either. Buzz has also reached a fever pitch regarding the 50th Anniversary Special.

The extravaganza celebrating 50 years of Tardis is coming November 23rd to the BBC. It’s written by Steven Moffat and will feature Matt Smith, David Tennant, John Hurt, Jenna-Louise Coleman and Billie Piper among others. We reported on John Barrowman’s little 50th Anniversary Special snub just recently. Hey, things like that do happen. Lucky fans did catch Barrowman in a very cool Scandal guest appearance on ABC. He did a terrific job as a rival fixer to our lead, Olivia Pope. Obviously, showrunner Shonda Rimes is just »

Behind the Scenes Interview on the Set of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Episode

20 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

Hopefully by now you’ve already seen the amazing Season Finale for Doctor Who (if you haven’t, don’t worry, no spoilers here). Such a great episode to end the season, which you may or may not have known was released to a few lucky preorder recipients in the Us by mistake a few weeks ago.

It was a precarious time on the Internet trying to avoid tumblrs that posted screenshots and pictures with spoilery captions. At least that’s what I was getting in a general sense, because I Avoided Them At All Cost.

Stephen Moffat promised that if we could keep the spoilery bits quiet then we would be rewarded with a special video of Matt Smith and David Tennant from the set of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Episode, and here is!

20 May 2013 9:04 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

On the heels of a terrific Doctor Who Season 7 finale, BBC announced over the weekend that this beloved sci-fi series would return for Season 8.

"The show's lead writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat, has revealed he's already plotting a brand new run of adventures for the Doctor," according to an announcement on the network's website.

It will feature current and former stars Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, David Tennant, Billie Piper, John Hurt and many more.

New Who Review: “The Name of the Doctor”

20 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Crossing one’s own timeline is a cardinal sin for a time traveler.  Walking over one’s grave even worse.  So when The Doctor is forced to do that…

The Name Of The Doctor

by Steven Moffat

Directed by Saul Metzstein

Re-appearing after its defeat a year previous, The Great Intelligence forces The Doctor to the location of his grave, wherein is hidden the physical manifestation of his timeline, a map of his life, which in the hands of the wrong people could be used to re-write his life.  The Intelligence chooses to do so, at the cost of its own existence.  The only way to save The Doctor, and all the good works he did, is with another sacrifice.

Emotionally, the episode worked exceedingly well. We got a solid River Song story, one where we finally see The Doctor admit his feeling for her.  But narratively, we’re very »

'Doctor Who' and the big finale question: Who is John Hurt playing?

20 May 2013 5:42 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

"What I did, I did without choice - in the name of peace and sanity."

"But not in the name of the Doctor!"

Umm... what? So Doctor Who's finale on Saturday night climaxed with a stunning final sequence so top-secret that even The Great British Press (we're a bit like The Great Intelligence, only marginally less evil) weren't allowed to see it pre-broadcast.

Deep inside the Doctor's own timestream, viewers apparently met a version of the Time Lord we'd never before encountered in the show's 50-year run. But, despite what the on-screen billing would have you believe, is acting legend John Hurt *really* playing the Doctor? Or is the truth behind his character's identity more complex than that?

Join the Week in Geek for a journey of discovery - and rampant speculation - as we attempt to answer the question... Doctor Who The Hell Was That?!

After yesterday's explosive series 7 finale of Doctor Who, the BBC has wasted little time in announcing that Matt Smith's Time Lord will return for an eighth series, with showrunner and executive producer Steven Moffat returning for a new batch of adventures in space and time.

Big, massive, episode-ruining spoilers in this article!

Because what we're going to do here is - with the help of some of the fine commenters on this site (we've credited people at the bottom, do shout if we've left you off by accident) - uncover some of the remaining questions, and, where possible, speculate about some answers.

This is your last spoiler warning.

Without further ado...

Who is John Hurt?
