and Whovian
Steven Spielberg
was first linked with
Doctor Who when his production company
Amblin was involved
with initial attempts
to create an American
based version of the programme. This
ultimately led to
Philip Segal's TV
movie of 1996.
In 2011, Spielberg paid tribute to Steven Moffat (co-writer of Tintin)
and his other British contributors: "Steven wrote one of my favourite
TV shows. Peter Jackson and I felt whoever did Dr. Who would have
a good sensibility for Tintin.
And it so happens Steven read [the books] since he was eight. Even
when he had to leave the project to get on with making Dr. Who, I
got two other Brits - Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and Joe
Cornish (Attack the Block) - to finish the job. They're two great
writers." A sequel, Prisoners of the Sun (scripted by Anthony
Horowitz) is still in development.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (released in late
2011) was shown on Film4 today- it featured Jamie Bell (as Herge's hero),
Andy Serkis (Haddock), Daniel Craig, and the vocal talents of these seven
Doctor Who guest actors:
- Nick [John] Frost (Thomson) played Santa Claus in Last Christmas
- Simon [John] Pegg [born Beckingham] (Thompson) was the Editor in The Long Game, voiced Don Chaney for Big Finish's Invaders From Mars (2002), and narrated the first series of Doctor Who Confidential
- Toby [Edward Heslewood] Jones (Silk) was the Dream Lord in Amy's Choice, and voiced Kotris for Dark Eyes (2012)
- Tony Curran (Delcourt) was Van Gogh in Vincent and the Doctor
- Daniel [Alan] Mays (Allan) was Alex in Night Terrors
- Martin Dew (Stroller) was a Russian commando in The Curse of Fenric
- Phillip Rhys [Chaudhary] (Co-Pilot/Medic) was Ramone in The Husbands of River Song
