That's what I said!
From Den of Geek:
Since 2007 the BBC have publicly been tied to a movie. Jane Tranter, controller of fiction at the time, mentioned in an interview with The Guardian that a film version was in no way ruled out and she even hinted that David Tennant would play The Doctor. The Scotsman himself has recently added fuel to the fire stating that he would like to be involved. Although not confirmed officially it would appear that Russell T Davies is preparing a script after his agency's website stated that Doctor Who - The Movie was on his schedule (though this info has since been removed). Could this be the "Special Project No. 3" that the outgoing showrunner mentioned in this month's Doctor Who Magazine?
But what can we expect? With Steven Moffat & Co. too busy making television adventures it would appear that a new production team would be employed. Due to the way the BBC works, any adventure could not impact on the small screen adventures meaning the movie would have to work on its own and avoid any potential confusion for those sitting at home paying their license fees. So a Tenth Doctor 'missing adventure' (a story set between onscreen stories) would seem like the most likely bet and, given the writer's love for the character of Rose Tyler, I don't think I'm assuming too much to suggest that Billie Piper would be tagging along for the ride too. Maybe we'll get to see them battle that Mortgage of Doom after all...
Ahem. I just wish to point out that I said it first!! I think this proves I'm a bigger geek than the Den of Geek. I'm sure you're all quite impressed. And I'm going to claim that the "Mortgage of Doom" allusion (originally from S2) would in this case be referring to 10.5 and Rose in Pete's World. Which I also suggested. *snicker*
