I’m so excited about this I am speechless! I can’t wait for the movie….awesome fantastic news!!!
YES THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!
Long live The Doctor!
I do hope they keep the ever-present eerie and menacing atmosphere of the original two.
Also, they might as well go “old-style”, with most scenes shot in-studio, to get that look I’m certain most Phibes’s fans crave for.
I do have to say that Malcolm is a great choice. He definitely has his work cut out for him. Noetheless he has damn big shoes to fill. Break a leg, guys…! :)
