Catherine Zeta-Jones to star in Dr. Who?
Catherine Zeta-Jones has been tipped to star in a movie version of cult sci-fi series Doctor Who – by the man credited with reviving the show.
Writer Russell T. Davies brought the British show back to TV screens in 2005 after a nine-year absence.
BBC bosses were recently rumored to be planning a big screen version of the hit show. And Davies insists that Zeta-Jones would be perfect for the role as the Timelord’s assistant.
He says, “Being from Wales myself, I’d love to have Catherine Zeta-Jones as a companion for the Doctor.”
The writer also insists that the series’ current lead actor David Tennant would be the first choice for a Doctor Who movie.
He adds, “To have anyone else would be inconceivable.”
Davies is due to end his tenure on the show in 2009.
