After the most recent teaser trailer for Star Wars The Force Awakens and rumors about "Star Trek 3," I thought it would be wild to imagine what JJ Abrams would do to Dr Who. No, I don't really want this to happen. I hope it doesn't. But here's a 'film trailer' for a 'big budget' version of Dr Who.
11/30/14: Updated the 'trailer' a bit with more descriptions and obviously a fan favorite since it would be pretty likely that Abrams would have them in the 'trailer.'
12/02/14: Decided to change 'my lead' as the Doctor plus have a new twist on a character from the Matt Smith era.
V/O at black screen: What is the most dangerous thing you can find? An ego untempered. Someone that can't be told no. No matter what you do – you can't convince him. You can't ask yourself 'why.' You can only ask yourself 'who.'
Cuts to a figure wearing a dark blue suit and a multi-colored scarf and has white hair and piercing eyes. He's standing in front of military personnel holding guns.
The figure smiles. "Me."
Bad Robot logo followed by BBC logo appear.
A young woman speaks in voiceover: "He's been everywhere. No one knows who he is." Shows her walking on an university campus with a notebook. "No one knows where he came from." She opens a door into a lecture hall as a professor is speaking. "He's taken on a different face but with the same title every time. He was on the Titanic. He was there when Kennedy was killed. But how?" She stands at the entrance and the professor stops to look at her.
The young woman talks to a professor in his office. Various pictures are on the chalkboard and books are open.
"If you dig deep enough and keep a lively mind, he crops up in all places. Political diaries, conspiracy theories, even ghost stories," the professor says as he shows her a picture of him from a notebook.
Shows the woman with reddish hair looking through newsreels and answering her phone as it rings.
"Abigail," says a voice on the other end.
"How do you know me?" Abigail asks frantically.
The camera zooms in on Abigail's face as she holds the phone. "I know you've been looking into me. I'll tell you where to meet. You need to know."
Abigail stands in a field and sees a blue police call box. She tries to take a picture with her phone but the camera doesn't work.
"It won't work you know," says the figure in a dark blue suit as he appears behind her.
"What is your name?" Abigail asks.
"You can call me The Doctor."
A piano version of "I Am The Doctor" starts up as the Doctor and Abigail are inside the Doctor's ship.
The Doctor's voice as it shows him and Abigail viewing the control center of the TARDIS. "It's called the TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It can take you anywhere you want to go at any time."
Abigail and the Doctor talk in front of the lever. Abigail asks, "Like where?"
"I'll show you."
As the music intensifies, it cuts into various locations including the Doctor & Abigail walking through a crowd near St. Paul's Cathedral, the outside of the TARDIS as it goes through time and space, lens flare as the TARDIS is shown flying near a sun, the Doctor ducking a punch from a guard in a room that looks similar to UNIT HQ and then knocks out the guard with a roundhouse punch, the Doctor & Abigail riding through Victorian England on horseback, Daleks are shown as they go down a hallway in front of the Doctor & Abigail, it zooms in a Dalek's weapon turns red and the Doctor panics and moves out of the way with Abigail as it blasts the wall behind them, the Doctor trying to outrun an airplane while driving a canary yellow roadster with Abigail holding a sonic screwdriver while standing in the car, explosions behind the Doctor and Abigail as they leap into the TARDIS aboard a ship.
The Doctor uses a sonic screwdriver on a large door and its sound is emitted. Various Daleks and UNIT guards are shown as the door closes. The Doctor looks at Abigail.
"That was close," she says.
He nods.
Cuts to another scene and shows a woman in a leather jacket and dark pants. They are standing near a beach next to the TARDIS.
"Well hello sweetie," she says.
"Sweetie?" asks Abigail.
"Old girlfriend. I'll explain later," says the Doctor.
Shows the woman and the Doctor arguing on the beach.
"The Daleks? How did they come back? I thought they were extinct!"
"Well, that's what I'm trying to figure out...I need your help," says the Doctor.
"Not this time," says the woman. "Not ever again."
The music slows down a bit as the Doctor does a voiceover. "There's something you have to know about me. I'm dangerous. Dangerous and on the run." He is standing in front of Abigail near the TARDIS in the earlier field.
Cuts back to UNIT HQ as another figure is seen in a dark coat and a beard. He looks forward and nods to a guard. The Doctor & Abigail sit behind a glass window in an examination room. The UNIT logo is shown on the wall as the figure stands on the other side of the glass.
"You? I thought you were dead," says the Doctor as he beholds this figure as he walks in.
"Indeed I was. But Doctor….how can you forget an old friend?" as the figure moves closer to the table and sits down.
Abigail looks at the Doctor then at the figure. "Do you know him?"
"My dear….people call me Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. But you can call me The Master."
The Doctor has a look of shock on his face.
The TARDIS is being fired by Daleks as the Doctor & Abigail try to escape as a symphonic version of the Dr Who theme plays. The doors to the TARDIS are blasted open and Abigail is about to get sucked into space. The Doctor grabs her hand as a giant opening in the side of the TARDIS is shown.
The TARDIS begins to crash through space and the Doctor is clearly panicking. The TARDIS finally lands as the Doctor and Abigail look around the control room at the destroyed equipment.
The camera zooms in on the Doctor's face as he looks outside the TARDIS. You can see the blown open TARDIS with missing doors and part of it missing. The TARDIS is clearly bigger on the inside.
V/O: "I have to go back. Go back to when Gordon Stewart died. I have to stop it."
The cloister bell is heard as the TARDIS materalizes in a snowy field. The TARDIS doesn't appear to be damaged since this took place earlier (or at a different point). One of the doors of the TARDIS opens and the Doctor steps out with a sonic screwdriver.
The Doctor looks into the camera as he says, "The Earth is under my protection." He points the screwdriver and operates it as lens flare shines around it.
Fades to black. Then the Doctor Who logo, which looks like a modern update of the classic 4th Doctor logo.
