Which Doctor Who star may be up for a Star Wars VII role?

Rumor is there’s a Doctor Who star who may be up for a Star Wars: Episode VII role. Want to see who it is?

According to Bleeding Cool, there’s a rumor (coming from a well-placed source, no less) that Doctor Who's Eleventh Doctor himself, British actor Matt Smith, went in for a role in Star Wars VII.

It's not clear whether Smith has had an audition, did a screen test or just engaged in some timey-wimey chit-chat with director J.J. Abrams or George Lucas.

However, if Smith did, in fact, go in for an audition and ends up being cast in the upcoming Star Wars flick, then it’ll be an awesome case of two major sci-fi franchises colliding. Seeing a former Time Lord exchange his sonic screwdriver for a lightsaber? Now, THAT would be cool.

So, what do you guys think? If the rumor turns out to be true, do you believe that Matt Smith would make a great Jedi or even perhaps a great villain?

1st Day of the Doctor clip validates Matt Smith's Comic-Con hint

 When people asked for any time of teaser for The Doctor Who 50th episode, Matt Smith replied, "Paintings." Here's our first glimpse of why. 

People had assumed that we wouldn't be seeing any video for The Day of the Doctor until tomorrow's trailer, but the BBC have seen fit to grant us this early surprise. It's only the briefest of snippets, and yet, for reasons that will become clear in a moment, it's still really, really cool.



So Queen Elizabeth I's credentials appear to be a painting of an alien world burning. In fact, it could even be Gallifrey! 


Obviously, this is the tip of the iceberg, but it's neat that the BBC found a way to give fans a clip from this episode that feeds directly into what Matt Smith hinted at months ago.

Just the right glimpse to get us ready for tomorrow's trailer.

The 1st Doctor Who Xmas Special Pics (Plus The First Pics Of Matt Smith's Wig)

The first filming pics from Doctor Who’s upcoming Xmas special are here, along with Matt Smith’s wig! As a bonus, we also have the title for Who's upcoming 50th anniversary bash.

So first things first.

Doctor Who was recently caught filming, along with Matt Smith's new wig (which is looking mighty fine and dandy, if we can say so ourselves. That's one possible disaster of epic proportion avoided)—and just so you know, wigs are cool.

Filming for Matt Smith’s swansong as the Eleventh Doctor began Sunday, and Matt and Jenna Coleman, who plays the Doctor’s companion Clara, were all on hand; as was that good old sexy TARDIS.

You can see the pics below.

Now, as for the second little piece of news, the title for Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary special—which will be 75-minutes long, by the way—starring Smith, Coleman, David Tennant, Billie Piper and John Hurt is: "The Day Of The Doctor."

What do you guys make of that?

Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special "The Day Of The Doctor" will air on November 23.
