on-stage to perform in _Much Ado About Nothing_, former timelord
Tennant, talked Total Film through how he's been keeping busy since
stepping away from the Tardis.*
First up he's starring as a tight-trousered Las Vegas illusionist in
the 3D update of _Fright Night_, then he'll lend his voice to
Aardman's latest _The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists_
(released 28 March 2012).
“What a joy to be part of that. You feel a little bit of a cheat
to take any credit for it, but really the stars of this film are the
animators. What they can make a piece of plasticine is quite
remarkable."
"The other day I did my last session on the film and they brought the
little model of [my character] Darwin down so I have shaken hands the
plasticine me - which was strangely thrilling.”
Also strangely thrilling is Tennant's next film project which he hopes
to start work on by the end of the year. But he's sworn to secrecy on
details:
"It will be something entirely new to me – the process will be
something I’ve never done before. That’s exciting and a
little bit scary – and I’ve already said too much!"
And don't rule out a return to the Doctor:
"Not impossible forever, but no plans at the moment. People keep
telling me that they’ve read online that I’m coming back
– but believe me, if that happens I’ll be the first to
tell everyone, I’ll be shouting about it very loudly."
"I’m very proud of the show and I’m fully aware it casts a
long shadow professionally, but I’m quite happy about that.
It’s a shadow wearing a very cool, long coat!"
_Fright Night_ opens on 2 September 2011, and _The Pirates! In An
Adventure With Scientists!_ is arriving 30 March 2012.
