Other Projects for Team Who

by Elisa

I was surfing around for other reasons yesterday and I encountered something that made me wonder what other projects the folks from the Whoniverse have been up to. Outside projects, don’t you know. What did I see that caused all of this?

Christopher Eccleston is in The G.I. Joe movie. Seriously. He’s playing Destro. And Jonathan Pryce is playing the U.S. President, if you’re interested.

So, you see why I got curious about what folks are doing.

Here’s what I found:

Christopher Eccleston: It looks like he’s in the middle of filming that G. I. Joe film (which means that I have to go see it) and he has also finished New Orleans, Mon Amour in which he plays…Dr. Jekyll. The official site for New Orleans, Mon Amour has a trailer, if you’re curious. (He is, however, most definitely not wandering around the San Francisco Bay Area frequenting In N Out restaurants late in the evening. No, the fellow that I saw looked rather like him and was wearing black and all, but was not, in fact, him.)

David Tennant: He’s got a run with the Royal Shakespeare Company coming up. He will be playing the title role in Hamlet from 24 July - 15 November 2008 and playing Berowne in Love’s Labour’s Lost from 2 October - 15 November 2008. He also has the upcoming Einstein and Eddington in which he plays Sir Arthur Eddington and Andy Serkis plays Albert Einstein.

Steven Moffat: Well, it looks like he’s writing the screenplay for Tintin. Last I heard, they were talking about making a series of films, so I’m not sure how he fits into all of that. Don’t worry. He’s written a two-parter for Doctor Who series 4.

Billie Piper: There’s word that she’ll be doing another series of her Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I expect that she has other things on her mind that acting, just now, though. She did just get married recently, after all.

Nicholas Briggs: The voice of the Daleks is currently the Executive Producer over at Big Finish. Shame he’s not busy.

That’s what I have for now. If you have further news, please let me know.
