Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.


I wanted to get a second opinion first, but it seems to me we should have a page for the new feature film.

I know that there are not many details yet, but if I remember correctly, unlike individual episodes only having pages after their first transmission, the pages for each new series of Doctor Who/Torchwood/SJA were added as soon as the new series was confirmed, with new details added as they were released. I believe the new film should be treated in this way, (novels/audio adventure pages are also added before their commerical release) and it is fair to say that this new film has indeed been confirmed (it hasn't been denied, and even Moffat is discussing it in terms of what 'will' happen, not 'if').

Also, in terms of the page title, structure etc, I would propose a similar model to http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Untitled_Star_Trek_sequel Geek Mythology 11:27, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

What new film?
The only reporting I've seen is David Yates shooting his mouth off and Moff and the BBC being vague about it.
There appears to be overwhelmingly more speculation than any facts. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:21, July 22, 2012 (UTC)
There definitely is a film in development, but lots of movies go into development and never come out. (See Development hell.) I agree that there isn't really enough solid material to justify a page yet. At best the article would be a record of press mentions, almost none of which will have any real bearing on the film if and when it actually appears.
My leaning is to that we shouldn't create a page until the film project is actually greenlit and enters pre-production proper. But then again, it's possible that we'll get more solid information as the development process proceeds (e.g. a writer being hired, further discussions of how it will fit with the TV series, etc.). What do others think? —Josiah Rowe 02:37, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
