Johnny Depp as Doctor Who? What?!?

There is an article up on TOR.com about how Russel T. Davies, responsible for the rebirth of Doctor Who is making a big budgeted Doctor Who movie in an attempt to bring the good Doctor to American audiences. If that isn't big enough news, the article is also reporting Johnny Depp has been brought on to be the big screen Doctor. Yeah, read that again...Johnny Depp as the Doctor...rockin' the TARDIS. I'm kinda baffled, but as a big Who fan, I would love to see the audiences in America being introduced to the Doctor.

Here is the first thing that comes to mind; firstly, how will it work with the show? Does this mean they have to kill off Matt Smith, the current (and 11th) Doctor? And, if so, what happens after the movie? Clearly, the show will have to take the movie into consideration for a new season, and that means going through two Doctors in a short amount of time. I really like Matt Smith's Doctor, and am in no hurry to get rid of him.

Interesting indeed!
