SO! I had heard that Christopher Eccleston (aka The Ninth Doctor) had been cast in TDiR, but no info whatsoever on who he'd been cast AS. My two guesses were: Merriman, or the Black Rider.

Turns out it's the Black RiderWhich was my second choice -- I

We all feel this project is *dooooooomed*. The Distant FoF is incensed. I, too, had assumed Eccleston would be Merriman -- have they cast anyone yet?

[jacquez]

Ian McShane.

[mecurtin]

seems OK, but since AFAIK they're making the whole family *Americans* who don't *understand* Will and he wants to be *popular* . . . dooooooooooooooomed.

And for these reasons it will be the one work of the magnificent Christopher Eccleston I am likely never to see.

Wow. That is fucked up in *so many ways*.

Re: read it and *weep*

[jacquez]

I am sitting here attempting to enumerate the ways in which it is f'd up, but I'm running out of fingers and toes.

Re: read it and *weep*

[lydiabell]

Have some of mine!

Re: read it and *weep*

[jacquez]

I used up all yours, too.

Gonna go kill some people now and use their bodyparts to count yet MORE ways in which this is f'd up. I figure I'll need the fingers and toes of at least 3 more people.

You can use mine, shortly. I'm about to have an brain aneurysm.

Re: read it and *weep*

[jacquez]

I swear, my plan of killin' folks to use their parts for counting is less f'd up than this.

Grar.
