Last night at about 11.45pm kandy posted onto the forum attached to the Doctor Who website GallifreyBase.com that someone had tweeted "Happy to report that actor David Tennant (Doctor Who) is joining Heather Graham and Timothy Hutton on "Emotional R...""
The original tweet was removed within 10 minutes but the person who tweeted it is a person who works in PR and is based in California.
Thanks to some great investigation work by fans in the DTAT thread on GallifreyBase, it appears that the movie is called Emotional Rescue and a website has already been set up at EmotionalRescueTheMovie.com.
David Tennant's bio on that website is quite out of date and they use an old photo of him as The Doctor (as opposed to one of the photos his management company usually submit for press releases). However it states that it will film in Winter 2012 and will be made by FreyjaFilms and The Filmmill in conjunction with Belladonna Productions.
The movie will be written and directed by Beth Lauren who will also produce it with Sarah Miller.
The rest of the cast will be Heather Graham, Timothy Hutton, Alysia Reiner, David Alan Basche and Angie Cepeda.
There is a very detailed synopsis of the film on the website here but beware that it contains SPOILERS. There is no mention of which character David might play.
No official announcement has been made about whether David has actually committed to film this movie or whether he is only attached to it (which is what happens when film companies are trying to get funding for a movie) but the fact that he is listed on the website is a positive sign.
