"Harry Potter" director David Yates has been hired to adapt "Doctor Who" to the big screen,
Variety reports.
Yates, who directed the last four Potter films, is about to start work on developing a "Doctor Who" movie with
Jane Tranter, head of L.A.-based BBC Worldwide Prods.
"We're
looking at writers now. We're going to spend two to three years to get
it right," he said. "It needs quite a radical transformation to take it
into the bigger arena."
"Doctor Who" follows the adventures across
space and time of a super-intelligent alien in human form, who battles a
variety of cosmic bad guys aided by plucky human companions.
"The
notion of the time-travelling Time Lord is such a strong one, because
you can express story and drama in any dimension or time," Yates said.
