To celebrate the film’s release on 6th October (UK), we’ve got our hands on some official merchandise for some lucky person to win! Just answer the question below and you maybe be a winner like Gordon Gekko. Plus this competition won’t make you morally reprehensible like him!

Synopsis:

As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader (Shia Labeouf) partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader’s mentor.

David Tennant Goes To Hollywood

David Tennant fans may be gutted that his stint as Doctor Who is nearly over. But it looks like we could be seeing much more of him on the big screen in the future.

That’s because Tennant has spoken out about his plans to break Hollywood. And surely he has what it takes! The good looks, great actor, and an English accent they’ll love over in the States. Tennant hopes that his new TV show in the U.S., the NBC series ‘Rex is not your Lawyer,’ will be a success, so he can move over to Los Angeles for good.

“It seems British actors are more and more in vogue over there – look at Hugh Laurie,” he said. “He’s just about as big a star as you get in the States and he’s made it in a role he would never have been given here”.

“But I’m not really thinking, ‘Well, they all did it, so I’ll do it.’ There’s no great plan. You just muddle along, and if an opportunity comes up, it would be silly not to take it.”

Tennant’s new U.S. Comedy series centre’s around his character, a top lawyer who starts suffering from panic attacks and eventually coaches his clients to represent themselves in court, so he no longer has to. NBC has high hopes for the pilot, which could be given a full season if it goes down well with audiences.

Tennant was the 10th Doctor and is preparing to bow out of the Tardis in a two-part Dr Who BBC Christmas special. He will regenerate into Matt Smith, the latest actor to take on the time-travelling sci-fi role.

But there’s no doubt that David Tennant has been one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of Doctor Who. He is popular with the ladies and fella’s alike, often a hard middle ground to find!

When he appeared in a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet last year, tickets for the London run sold out in less than three hours.

Despite admitting that he has a Hollywood career in his sights, he has denied any plans for a Doctor Who movie. The 38-year-old Scottish actor was in Hollywood at the same time as the BBC One show’s executive producer and writer Russell T Davies – sparking rumours of an upcoming film with Tennant reprising the role of the Doctor.

Surely that would be impossible now he has given up the role – but hey, it’s Doctor Who, so anything can happen. My guess is though, we will be seeing him in some brand new roles on the big screen, and on the Hollywood Red Carpet very soon indeed.

Torchwood Season 4 – Coming 2010

**UPDATE – We now know that Torchwood: The New World will be hitting screens some time in 2011, head over HERE for the full low-down**

Back in August we spotted an interview with “Doctor Who” and “Torchwood” Godfather, Russel T. Davis in which the writer/director hinted at what could be to come in season four of the popular Doctor Who spin-off.

Now, talking to TV Guide Magazine, Davies reveals that he hopes to begin developing season 4 of Torchwood in January 2010!

“The recession has hit British television, but fingers crossed, it will be a go. We expect things to start to move in January. We’ve got great ideas for the show. I think there’s a further lease on life for many years to come, but certainly for a [fourth season].”

Torchwood: Children of Earth was a massive success when screened earlier this year, however the dark overtones and the death of popular character Ianto Jones have split fans down the middle, many of whom have accused Davies of getting too big for his boots. One FilmShaft reader said:

RTD destroyed Torchwood in an exercise of pure vanity to show US bosses that he was a tough writer. Well screw him and any season 4. It was bad enough to lose Owen and Tosh, but the killing of Ianto was too much.

It remains to be seen whether John Barrowman will return as Captain Jack Harkness, given his shock exit in Children of Earth, after causing the death of his own Grandson, however many fans speculate that we may see the return of one or two of the Doctor’s assistants in order to plug the gaps.
