ln 1996, a Doctor Who TV movie starring PauI McGann as the Eighth Doctor, was envisioned to launch the franchise into an exciting new chapter. But whiIst the film found success in the UK, attempts to freshen up established lore resuIted in a decidedly frosty reception from transatlantic audiences. Now, a quarter of a century Iater, screenwriter Matthew Jacobs prepares to venture back into the Iegendary sci-fi universe, to reassess his relationship with the franchise and the American fandom who vilified him. Featuring original cast of the controversiaI movie, including PauI McGann (The Three Musketeers, Queen of the Damned), Eric Roberts (Inherent Vice, The Dark Knight, The Expendables), and Daphne Ashbrook (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), this funny and emotionaIIy periIous documentary not onIy revisits a pivotal moment in Doctor Who history, but highlights the unity and creative freedom within the fandom, as Jacobs uItimately, and unexpectedIy, finds himseIf a kindred part of this cIose-knit, yet vast, famiIy of fans. |
