David Tennant Cast as New Doctor Who

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tipping-the-tardis dept.

Stephen Williams writes "Doctor Who fan site Output Gallifrey is reporting that David Tennant has been cast as the tenth incarnation of the Time Lord. Tennant, who has recently appeared in BBC dramas Blackpool and Casanova, has been linked with the role of the Doctor since the announcement of Christopher Eccleston's departure."

    This one seemed to totally slip by the mainstream. It's called L.A. Without a Map (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119565/).

    It's a strange little film about a Scottish undertaker/wannabe screenwriter (Tennant) who falls in love with an American tourist and travels to L.A. to find her.

    Vinessa Shaw, Julie Delpy, Vincent Gallo are all excellent, and there are a few very funny cameos by Johhny Depp. He appears in most of the film as his own poster for Dead Man, who Tennant talks to for inspiration (difficult to explain, something like this:- http://www.posterplanet.net/images/deadmangun.jpg)

    Tennant is, in my opinion a good actor and while I'm not a huge fan of Doctor Who, I'm glad for his success. Maybe it will make this film easier to find?
