Doctor… Who?
According to reports from British magazine “Now”, the producers of British Sci-Fi drama “Doctor Who” want to get Hollywood A-listers to star in the show to make the programme more appealing to American audiences.
The likes of Tom, Cruise, Madonna, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are just some of the names being considered for a role in the cult show, the report says.
“BBC producers know they can’t pay these stars what they are used to, but what they can offer is an exciting role in a real cutting-edge telly show” – an insider tells Britain’s Daily Star newspaper – “The big stars love that kind of kudos.”
The BBC are are currently working on 3 Doctor Who specials to be shown in 2009. These are said to be the episodes that the celebrities are being approached to star in.
Doctor Who producers have already lined up singer Kylie Minogue for this year’s Christmas special, where she’ll play a waitress on the Titanic.
