BBC One Christmas 2017 Trailer

The BBC has released a trailer for some of their holiday programming, including Doctor Who.

"Twice Upon a Time" Synopsis & Motion Poster

The BBC has released the official description for this year's Doctor Who holiday special.

The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor’s (Peter Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley - Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.

Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor's story.

An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity’s darkest hours, Twice Upon A Time marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning...

Twice Upon A Time is written by Steven Moffat, directed by Rachel Talalay, and executive produced by Brian Minchin. The 60 minute special guest stars Mark Gatiss as The Captain and Nikki Amuka-Bird as the voice of the glass woman, and will see Peter Capaldi’s Doctor regenerate into the Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker).

"Twice Upon a Time" Synopsis

The BBC Shop has posted a description of the Doctor Who Christmas special plot on their Blu-ray listing for the episode. It's since been removed.

Two Doctors stranded in a forbidding snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. And a British army captain seemingly destined to die in the First World War, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor’s story. This is the magical last chapter in the Twelfth Doctor’s epic adventure. He must face his past to decide his future. And the Doctor will realise the resilience of humanity, discovering hope in his darkest frozen moment. It’s the end of an era. But the Doctor’s journey is only just beginning.

"Twice Upon a Time" Trailer 1

The BBC has released a trailer for this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.

SPOILER Spotted on DW Xmas Special Set

Pearl Mackie has been spotted on the set of the Doctor Who Christmas special. This seems to indicate she'll survive her cyberconversion in last week's episode. However, it might just be a flashback (we'll have to wait for Saturday to be sure).

Rachel Talalay to Direct DW Xmas Special

Steven Moffat has confirmed to the Huffington Post that Rachel Talalay will direct this year's Doctor Who special. Talalay already has several Doctor Who credits to her name.

Yes, thrilled to be doing #DoctorWho Xmas episode (and what a script!). Very sad it's our last.

Chibnall to Write Part of Xmas Special

In a new interview with Empire Magazine, Steven Moffat revealed that future showrunner Chris Chibnall will write the 13th Doctor's dialogue in this year's Christmas special. Older readers will remember that Moffat did the same thing with 11's first lines after Davies left in The End of Time.

The Batman to Shoot in Spring

Ben Affleck has indicated to Variety that the Batman movie should film in spring of next year. This basically confirms what Joe Manganiello said several weeks ago. It also puts it on a 2018 release date, which makes sense considering The Flash has probably been delayed.

UPDATE: Jeremy Irons has now confirmed this

Sherlocked USA Happening

Hartswood Films, Showmasters, and Massive Events have announced that the official Sherlock convention will be coming to the United States. No details will be announced until tomorrow at 6pm PDT.

The Ray Coming to CW Seed

The CW has announced that next year they will be releasing a new animated series called Freedom Fighters: The Ray on their Seed network. The Ray is a journalist who gains the power to manipulate light energy after attempting to expose a secret government weapons program. It's not known at this point which version of the character they will be going with, but he will be the first gay lead on a superhero program. They haven't cast anyone yet, but whoever it is might pop up on one of their live action programs.

Spider-Man Movie Moved

Sony has moved the release date for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot from July 28, 2017 to July 7 of the same year. Apparently Disney moved Star Wars VIII from May to December, which allowed them to push Pirates of the Caribbean to May, which allowed Sony to move Spider-Man into Pirates' time slot.

MCU Extension
