There
have been rumours for some time about Peter Jackson (director of The
Lord of the Rings movies and
many more) directing Doctor Who.
Jackson is well-known to be a life-long fan of Doctor Who
and a couple years ago, it was confirmed that he was interested in
directing the show—just so long as he received his own Dalek as payment.
Well,
Peter Jackson has recently uploaded a video to his Facebook page,
which many people are seeing as a confirmation that he is now
officially directing an episode. The video certainly seems to imply
that, although it never actually comes out and directly says as much.
It's possible that he and Peter Capaldi (who appears in the video)
are just having a bit of fun with the rumours. But it could well be a tease before an official announcement.
Assuming
it is happening, I am very intrigued. I love The Lord of
the Rings movies, but I'm much
less enthralled by The Hobbit
movies, so we'll have to see—but
I suppose that's true of any situation. Nevertheless, I look forward to it.
Apparently,
I can't embed a Facebook video without a Facebook account, so I'm
embedding a copy someone else put up on Youtube. You can watch the
original at this link if the Youtube
one gets taken down.
