rivendellroseI know I'm going to lose some of my DW fan-cred for saying this, but... Please, for the love of everything that doesn't suck, don't let this happen. Please?
Unnverving and potentially-bad idea: A new Doctor Who movie.
How to make me more nervous about that idea: Russel Davies writing a Doctor Who movie. He's done some great things, some of his episodes are awesome, but I'm getting really un-enamoured of his style lately. If you define "lately" as "on and off since the end of S1."
Even Worse: Star-casting the companion.
Worse-than-Worse: Davies insisting he can't see doing it without Tennant as the Doctor.
News for you, Davies: We all have "our Doctor." We all have to get the hell over it when that Doctor leaves (unless you want to be the creepy person who's still mad about Baker (whichever one) leaving, twenty-some years after the fact. (And no, I'm not thinking of any particular person. Although I'm sure they're out there somewhere.) We all have to be willing to let the Doctor move on, or the story will die. It's kind of like letting your companions move on... oh, wait. Davies can't figure out how to do that, either.
It's not that I don't like Zeta-Jones. I do! I really do like her. I just... really, it's just that I think a movie would be a fabulously bad idea. No matter who did it, or who's in it, or whatever. The whole thought just makes me twitch.
On the other hand, there's nothing more cheering than another bunch of folks who think "something on the camera" means "OMG, GHOST!!!!" My entirely uneducated guess would be a bug. Possibly even a dust mote. Ooooooooo. XD
