Although directory David Yates has one movie coming out soon, St. Nazaire, and another next year, Your Voice in My Head, he's looking ahead to make a feature-length theatrical film of "Doctor Who", by hook or by crook.

He tells Bleeding Cool:

Quote:
"Yes, I’m definitely doing a Doctor Who movie. But I think where everyone got confused was that we’re not making it for five years, or six years – it’s a very slow development. I’ve got projects backed up between now and about 2015, and it’s something I’m very passionate and excited about."
And if Stephen Moffat continues to disrupt Yates's buzz, then he'll just have to arrange a sit-down meeting with him:
Quote:
"Stephen’s a genius. I love his work, I think he’s incredibly clever. I love what he’s done with Doctor Who, love his Sherlock Holmes. He’s such a gifted man. But this is something that’s a very slow burn and I’m hoping to sit down with him at some point and have a chat."
Meanwhile, Moffat's declared he's not personally interested in producing even spin-offs for Doctor Who, so his likely reaction to Yates's statements isn't looking good.
