Dr Who: films of Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy

The part led, indirectly, to his casting as the venerable Time Lord. The film also starred Sean Bean, Elenor Bron and Alun Armstrong. The film was known rather ominously in France asPrince Noir. It was the last film to be directed by the late Michael Winner. It was a role Baker had accepted with mixed emotions. Press reports that the role was already Brian Blesseds proved unfounded. Baker replaced Jon Pertwee in the 1989 stage play:Doctor Who The Ultimate Adventure....

The Train: the Ridley Scott-HR Giger movie that never was

In the late 80s, Ridley Scott and HR Giger could have collaborated on their first film since Alien. Ryan looks at the unrealised project… Without director Alejando Jodorowsky, its likely that the 1979 sci-fi classicAlienwould have looked very different. [Gigers] paintings had a profound effect on me, OBannon later said. And so I ended up writing a script about a Giger monster. In a claustrophobic, messy corner of Shepperton Studios, Giger worked tirelessly on his designs and sculptures....

Marc Webb interview: Spider-Man, hidden set cameras

I couldnt help but think back to Tim Burton, when he made Batman and Batman Returns. He always said that his second Batman film as being far more of his film than the one before.

But every now and then, a relatively high profile project also gets caught up in non-release hell. That said, Peli tinkered withParanormal Activityfor a long, long time before arriving at a final cut. And that worked out quite well. However, its release has constantly been delayed by legal issues....
