BBC's original TV time lord "Doctor Who" is going to get the Hollywood treatment under Sony Entertainment. The plan is to produce the film within the next eight years as an alleged 2022 movie, this information was part of the leaks from the massive Sony hack attack last year.

According to the leaked info which is now uploaded on Wikileaks, this includes 170,000 email correspondence and about 30,000 documents, emails from BBC's Director of Television Danny Cohen had been meeting with Andrea Wong, a Sony executive, saying there is a "tremendous interest" for the show to become a film.

Wong forwarded this interest in an email to Sony's CEO Michael Lynton putting in detail the current direction that BBC Television show runners are going and the current pressure with BBC Worldwide.

"The show runners feel very clear that they don't want to do one at this moment," from Wong to Lynton, "That said, over the course of the coming months, the show running team is coming up with an 8 year timeline for the brand-laying out all that will happen with it."

Understandably the given timeframe would be plausible since it would be taking some discussion over BBC's narrative development, considering it may clash with the current stories involving actor Peter Capaldi as the 'Twelfth Doctor' and Jenna Coleman as 'Clara Oswald' if it were any sooner.

"He [Cohen] says that a film will certainly be a part of that timeline. So the answer is that a film won't happen in the next year to 18 months, but is expected that it will happen after that within the 8 year horizon," According to Wong read on Doctor Who TV. To this, Lynton replies that they have to meet with the show runners.

Further on, Cohen updates Wong stating that "he doesn't think it makes sense right now and actually might hurt our cause." A brewing tension is currently happening with the show's creative team while they discuss terms with BBC Worldwide saying that they "are very hot under the collar that their position on it is not being listened to or accepted..."

Steven Moffat, Doctor Who show runner, has voiced his concerns about the storyline being propelled into confusion if this were to happen.

"How do we do this? How do we do it without leaching from the television series-which we're not allowed to do, because Doctor Who is public funded? If it's going to be a different Doctor, are we going to try and sell two Doctors at the same time? I know there's been loads of Doctors, but there's only been one at a time. You don't have a James Bond on television and one in the cinema. If he's the same guy, then when are we going to make that?" Moffat tells Entertainment Weekly.

But he agrees that it could become a "colossal movie" and it won't be his choice in the end to make any changes from television to big screen.
