'The Hobbit' Auditioning 'Unknown Actors', Tom Waits Said Among the Candidates

59 minutes ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Peter Jackson has given an update on his upcoming movie project, "The Hobbit". Being met by IGN at a cocktail reception for his new film "The Lovely Bones", the filmmaker informed that casting directors for the adventure movie have been auditioning "unknown actors" for the role of Bilbo Baggins.

Previously, there were some actors who have been linked to the lead role, like Daniel Radcliffe, Martin Freeman, James McAvoy, and David Tennant. When asked if he could clarify who, among those names, does not have the possibility to play Bilbo, Jackson said some of them were not under consideration. However, he refused to say who had been ruled out because he didn't want anyone to figure anything out via process of elimination.

Additionally, Ain't It Cool News has added another name among the candidates to play Bilbo. According to the site, a trusted source has told them that Tom Waits »

News: Christmas Radio Times Cover

You might not see anything Time Lord related on the cover of the 2009 Christmas Radio Times (despite featuring David Tennant's last interview as the Doctor!), but if you buy one of the two versions in circulation, you'll certainly see a Dalek! Sales of the Christmas listings guide - the most comprehensive in print in the UK - are a guaranteed earner for BBC Worldwide. Kathy Day is the Radio Times's publishing director - according to her, despite the slump (signalled in the print and TV... »

News: Mint Cynical

23 hours ago | Kasterborous.com | See recent Kasterborous news »

As merchandise goes, it's cynical, obvious and at the bottom of the quality chain - for some reason, the Royal Mint is producing a Doctor Who coin in order to commemorate David Tennant's time on the show. Available in gold and silver, Daleks, K-9 and the Tardis appear on these commemorativecoins - dubbed "medals". Dave Knight, commemorative coin director, said: ''Just as the Doctor is timeless, so too is the enduring appeal of the TV series which continues to entertain... »

'Doctor Who': Dreamland - The Verdict

5 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Move over Mulder and Scully! The Doctor is in Roswell's Area 51, armed with his sonic screwdriver and plenty of one-liners in this highly-watchable and undemanding animated adventure. About the length of your average television episode, it breezes along at a breakneck pace and never fails to entertain, despite some fairly bland companions and each character having about two facial expression settings. Writer Phil Ford crams plenty of amusement into The Doctor's dialogue, and one can sense David Tennant's glee as he rattles them off throughout the adventure. Lines like "you never know when you might need to escape in a box" go down a treat, along with The Doctor's momentary confusion that The Reds are more of a Mancunian footballing threat than a nuked-up Soviet one. It's also just as well that The Doctor drops in a reference to Aliens early on, (more) »

Doctor Who — "The End of Time" Promotional Photos

5 December 2009 7:22 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

David Tennant's run as the tenth doctor is about to end. His three-series tenure will come to a close in January 2010, when the second part of "The End of Time" airs. However, fear not, you'll only have to wait a few more days for part one of the two-part finale, which will air on Christmas day in Britain, and a day later in America (the shortest delay between the UK and Us airings of the show yet). The second part will air in Britain on January 1, 2010, with an as-yet unknown airdate in the U.S.

The episode will also mark the end of Russel T. Davies' time on the show. Davies, who resurrected the series and wrote many, many episodes of the four seasons thus far, will be leaving the show after this episode. The changeover will be complete with the appearance of a new doctor. The eleventh doctor, »

2 December 2009 1:18 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Veteran actor David Warner has spoken about his role in the new Doctor Who animation Dreamland, which features the David Tennant incarnation of the Time Lord.

Warner played Ed Dillinger (aka Sark/Master Control Program) in 1982's cult sci-fi classic Tron and voiced the villainous Ra's Al Ghul in the Batman and Batman Beyond animated series.

He's also starred in films such as The Omen and Titanic and next year is set to reprise his role as Kenneth Branagh's father in BBC series Wallander.

In Dreamland - which is on the BBC website and airs on BBC2 this Saturday, December 5 - the 68-year-old voices the evil, cockroach-like alien Lord Azlok, as you can see in our exclusive sneak preview images below.

Warner (pictured right), a former Warwickshire actor, revealed it's not his first voyage into the world of Doctor Who, as he's previously done audio adventures playing the Time Lord. »
