Final day of filming on David Tennant's movie Decoy Bride

It is believed to be the final day of filming on David Tennant's latest movie Decoy Bride today in Scotland.

From a post made on DavidTennantOnTwitter.com two weeks ago, characters today include a Security Guard and a vicar.

David's co-star Alice Eve was reported by the Daily Mail yesterday as being seen in London on Thursday so it's not clear whether all her scenes have been completed or if she'll be involved in today's final day.

David Tennant was spotted around a film set in Glasgow yesterday.

Videos of David Tennant filming Rex Is Not Your Lawyer

Two videos of David Tennant shooting Rex Is Not Your Lawyer at the end of last year have been posted onto YouTube.com.

This first one is from 16th December when they shot scenes on a golf course.

This second one is from a scene on the driving range at a gold course. Stills from this scene were first posted onto the Internet only on Tuesday.

Many thanks to JaneTheWeavil for the videos and to Sunshine on GallifreyBase.com for posting the links.

Casting and movie title changes for David Tennant's movie Retreat

Deadline.com reported today that Cillian Murphy will replace Jason Isaacs to co-star with Thandie Newton in the movie The Retreat.

This movie only has a cast of three and it's not 100% certain that David Tennant will be in the movie as Deadline.com do not mention him in today's article.

The first connection between David Tennant and the movie was on Monday 21st February when ScreenDaily said that he would be in it and that it would start filming in Canada in May.

On 21st May ScreenDaily said that David was still listed in the movie but that it had been changed to film in North Wales in the Summer.

Today's article says that filming starts in Wales in September.

The latest summation of the plot is that "a husband and wife rent a remote island cottage while trying to repair their marriage. One day they find a biohazard-suited soldier (David's character) washed up on the beach, who warns them that everybody on the mainland has been killed by an airborne virus. That’s when the psychological fun-and-games begin..."

Deadline also report that Sony Pictures has the UK rights to the film with another studio deal pending for Germany. SC Films International will handle worldwide sales. Carl Tibbetts is the writer / director of the movie with Gary Sinyor of Magnet Films as the producer and TV personality David Frost as executive producer.

Eagle-eyed fans of David Tennant will have noticed that Deadline say that the movie is now called "The Retreat" (previously it was "Retreat"). One fan has posted onto Deadline.com "Might want to consider changing the title. There are already four separate “The Retreat” films coming out in the next two years."

Latest David Tennant items in the Press

There's a photo of David Tennant in The Sun today in an article about Benedict Cumberbatch being offered the part of the Eleventh Doctor. Benedict says "David and I talked about it but I thought it would have to be radically different. And anyway I didn't really like the whole package - being on school lunchboxes."

According to a news item on GallifreyBase.com the Latest Finished Product magazine has David Tennant on the cover (in military uniform) and includes interviews with actors who talk about their memories of David Tennant in one of his final roles before playing the Tenth Doctor.

Four new photos of David Tennant on Decoy Bride set

Four new photos of David Tennant on the set of Decoy Bride have been posted online. The photos are from the set at Caerlaverock Castle so are from about two weeks ago.

It is unclear who the photographer is but they appear to have first been posted on a Spanish fan website called David Tennant Foros. They were then posted onto a Live Journal page.

As DavidTennantOnTwitter.com is careful to respect copyright, the photos have not been reproduced but the link to view all four pictures is here.

David Tennant receives massive applause at Doctor Who Proms

According to an article on ThisIsLondon.co.uk (and repeated in the Evening Standard newspaper tonight) David Tennant received the most cheers on Saturday evening when the sequence of eleven regenerations was screened at the Doctor Who Proms.

The actual wording in the article was "Attention focussed primarily, not on the orchestra, but on a dozen screens showing action-packed Dr Who clips, including one sequence that assembled the Doctor’s every incarnation. Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker got a warm welcome, but the loudest cheers were for David Tennant."

This confirmed the posts made on DavidTennantOnTwitter on Saturday evening. At the Doctor Who Prom on Sunday morning there was a technical difficulty (confirmed by Steven Moffat on Twitter) so the first regeneration sequence was not shown. The scenes of Nine changing into the Tenth Doctor and then Ten into Eleven were shown and again David Tennant received massive applause.

The programme will be shown on BBC3 next month and the audio is available now on iPlayer.

David Tennant's filming this week

The main block of filming on Fright Night starts today in the US.

David Tennant is not expected to film his role in this movie yet as there is still another week of filming on Decoy Bride.

According to a post on DavidTennantOnTwitter.com on Sunday 18th, extras required for today's Decoy Bride shoot include a man or woman of oriental descent to be a tourist, a man to be security and a man to be a vicar. Filming is expected to take place in the Glasgow area.

David Tennant play the character Peter Vincent who was played in the original movie Roddy McDowall as the host of a late-night horror show. In this remake he’s a Las Vegas magician whose show revolves around horror-movie imagery. The press release explains "Vincent claims to be a vampire expert, but when the teen turns to him for assistance, he’s less than helpful."

The movie is directed by Craig Gillespie and will be released through Disney. There will be a 3D version of the movie and it currently has a release date of 7th October 2011.

Please see the Fright Night section of DavidTennantOnTwitter.com for more information about this movie.

BBC News reports on David Tennant and Decoy Bride filming in Scotland (including a photo) at this link plus there is an audio interview from the set yesterday at this link.

David Tennant filming at Caerlaverock Castle again today

According to tweets by both @SWSSC ("On set for Decoy Bride filming at Caerlaverock castle today - it's looking great!") and @iBeMeLaura (JUST MET DAVID TENNANT. and got his autograph, he was so nice" and "he was at carlaverock castle, near dumfries, today and yesterday but he's away to a new location now") David Tennant was flming Decoy Bride back at Caerlaverock Castle again today.

David Tennant as The Incredible Hulk RUMOUR

Edward Norton played the character in the origianl movie but Marvel Studios have already announced that he will not be playing it in the sequel.

Today the LA Times Blog reported that actors who are POSSIBLY being considered for the role include "Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Nathan Fillion and David Tennant."

This story has since been picked up by DenOfGeek and MTV so expect it to appears on loads of other websites soon!

Great quotes about David Tennant from set of Decoy Bride

Emma Dibdin, who interviewed David Tennant on the set of Decoy Bride yesterday, described him as "a perfect delight as expected - warm, witty, razor-sharp."

Also Sunshine from GallifreyBase quoted an actress on the set describing him over the weekend as "he's just lovely, great sense of humour, willing to sit and chat for ages, the kind of person who will sit and really focus on the other person."

David Tennant filming at Caerlaverock Castle

Today David Tennant filmed at Caerlaverock Castle (just south of Dumfries, Scotland) for a scene in Decoy Bride.

Click here for more info and an audio interview with make-up artist Anita Anderson.

The film is scheduled to be released around May-June 2011.

Filming on David Tennant's movie Decoy Bride moves to Scotland this week

Filming on David Tennant's new movie Decoy Bride moves from the Isle Of Man to Scotland this week, starting either today or tomorrow.

The movie is set in Scotland but the Isle Of Man has been used for some scenes as its landscape resembles Scotland in places, plus they are known to have used a harbour there for one scene. This was David Tennant's first time filming on the island.

The original post made about filming dates was by Sunshine on the Doctor Who forum GalifreyBase who posted that "Rehearsals start in London on 21st June for one week. Filming starts on the Isle of Man on 27th June and continues until 12th July It then moves to Glasgow for the period from 12th July until 31st July."

However this left some doubt about where exactly they would be filming today (this information was probably never meant for public consumption anyway!) especially as on Monday 28th June The IsleOfMan.com website posted that David Tennant's movie Decoy Bride started filming there yesterday for "two and a half weeks."

Last Thursday (8th) The News and Star newspaper (published in Dumfries) said that Decoy Bride starts filming in that area tomorrow.

One of David Tennant's co-stars in the movie Michael Urie has tweeted that he spent this past weekend in Amsterdam. Obviously not all the actors are required for each day of filming.

Interesting David Tennant items available on eBay

Doctor Who Magazine writer and co-author of The Writer's Tale Benjamin Cook has a selection of interesting David Tennant related items available currently on eBay.

Benjamin is also selling some of the Doctor Who Magazine Series Specials.

The Sun newspaper examines David Tennant's finances

An intrusive article in The Sun newspaper today has been published about David Tennant's finances. Click here to read it.

The reason that The Sun was able to publish this information is because David chooses to work as a limited company. This is a sensible decision for tax reasons but it does mean that the information (or at least the abbreviated accounts) is available in the public domain.

However the article is quite misleading in places as the title of the article and the comment that his bank balance "plummeted" by £1 million doesn't mention that he bought his house during that accounting period.

The article also doesn't specify that at the start of the year that these accounts cover (1st October 2008 to 30th September 2009) David had already been working at the RSC and not Doctor Who for four months.

ITN interview with David Tennant

Will David Tennant be nominated for an Emmy today?

The official nominations are announced today for the Primetime Emmys (the US television production awards, which are considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards).

The nominees will be announced live from the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre tonight from 5.35am today which is from 1.30pm UK time. The ceremony can be watched live at this link (membership required).

David Tennant was listed as a nomination in the first round of voting. However that was purely the first round of voting and all nominees were put forward for this round by their various television production companies so virtually any actor in any role during the eligibility period could have been nominated.

David Tennant was nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Mini-Series Or A Movie category and was been nominated twice - for the role of Arthur Eddington in Einstein and Eddington and for the title role of Hamlet.

In that first round there were 30 actors nominated in that category and David faced some stiff opposition as he is up against, among others, Ian McKellen, Al Pacino, Chiwetel Ejiofor and also Andy Serkis for Einstein and Eddington. All members could vote for up to five actors in the category. Click here to see the list of all the nominees.

All productions screened in the US during the eligibility period (1st June 2009 to 31st May 2010) are able to submit nominees.

Be warned that an Emmy is far more likely to be awarded to an American made television programme than a British one.

Photo and video of David Tennant filming Decoy Bride

Earlier today Kelly Foran tweeted "Just caught up with David Tennant who's filming on the Isle of Man....check out the tasty outfit! http://twitpic.com/236ts8 "

Kelly is a presenter on More Music 3FM and lives on the Isle Of Man where David is currently filming Decoy Bride.

Decoy Bride SPOILER:

An early version of the script for the movie has Katie describing the outfit that James (David Tennant's character) wears in part as "Retro classic. Untouched since 1978." He wears this costume just after a scene in which, at least in one draft of the script, James is just in his boxer shorts!

The first photos of David Tennant on the Isle Of Man

The first photos of David Tennant on the Isle Of Man have been posted in the public domain.

Sharon Mitchell posted this photo (she did not specify where or when it was taken).

And Quinn Shipton posted this picture with the excited comment "Me and David Tennant … I am so happy. I’ve just met this man, i have a signature.
I am so happy!"

(The photos are not reproduced on this website for copyright reasons and out of respect to the people involved.)

David Tennant is filming the movie Decoy Bride on the Isle Of Man and is expected to be there for about another week and a half before filming moves to Scotland.

Doctor Who movie rumours

In the past 24 hours there have been several mentions of David Tennant in reports of RUMOURS about Johnny Depp played The Doctor in a film version of Doctor Who.

This is one of the examples (with video) from ITN.
