Agreed, that's why I think it's John Hurt, it would've made more sense to put him by Sarah Jane and the 3rd Doctor stuff.

Earlier at the BBC: "We've got John Hurt playing a previous version of the Doctor in the 50th anniversary episode, he was the big reveal from the end of the last series and is a major new piece of the Doctor's past, but let's not put him anywhere in this 50th anniversary trailer. I do like that large holster he wears around him that holds his sonic screwdriver though, let's keep that and have the alternate reality version of the Brigadier from that 3rd Doctor story with his back turned to the camera in a prominent position facing off against Tennant. It'll make no sense but I'm sure it'll be perfect!".

Ah, Remembrance of the Daleks. Heard of it but never saw it.

The attention to detail in the trailer really is mental/magnificent - for instance, the mountain structure the Eleventh Doctor is standing on is in the shape of the crack in Amy's wall, ever-so-briefly visible when it zooms out skywards at the end.
Also -- bizarre, but it was slightly warming to hear Billie Piper say "Doctah" in among the echoes during the trailer. Regardless of how some of her story concluded, she's still sort of the definitive companion for me. Her and Sarah - who it was also lovely to see given such prominence, as she deserves.

I'd love if there were a 50th anniversary special where the Tardis loses the ability to travel back in time because some universal overseer starts deleting the past in favor of creating new universes and the Doctor has to stop him. It's an anniversry, so why not be a little meta for an episode?

I have a feeling while undoubtedly big on time war lore and things they'll probably keep the 50th relatively straightforward on the timey wimey front, as it's an episode likely to draw in people who wouldn't usually watch. Proper little bit of event TV.

I liked it.
It was like the title sequence to a Zack Snyder Doctor Who movie.

That trailer is too fantastic. No words, should've sent a poet.
I mentioned that over on Gallifrey Base actually, it was the first thing that jumped out at me as being off in the trailer. I'm not even certain it's actually Pertwee.
I took a shot at face-swapping Pertwee's segment with a more immediately recognisable image:
I'm thinking the "hero" shots are probably a mix of archive photos digitally grafted onto real-life body doubles in costume. I'm fairly certain I've seen the stills of Hartnell and Baker used for their faces in the trailer, and I doubt the budget would've covered digital reproductions of the actors.

Yeah that's actually more to what I was thinking, they may have had to do some extra work to make it all look good though I suppose.

Magnificent.
Magnificent.
I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY DID NOT INVITE KING TOM BAKER AKA THE LONGEST RUNNING AND THE BEST DOCTOR EVER TO AT LEAST MAKE A 2 SECOND CAMEO.INSTEAD WE GET WHITEBREAD CLARA AND MATT'S WEIRD LACEFRONT.

I, uh, what?

The official tumblr thingy says they're 3D models.

Wow, impressive stuff. Consider me fooled.

They're 3D models, but built off old photos and stills. This is where the shot of Hartnell is from, for instance:
They can all be traced similarly.

Pretty impressive level of detail, especially for a BBC promo. I mean, look at this:
(Sorry for crappy phone screenshot).
The stitching at the edges of the scarf are only visible for a split-second, and yet there they are. I'm actually a little blown away.

So is Matt a 3d model at the end too, because something looks off about his head on the body. Like they forgot an inch or two of neck.

I feel like it's the way the wig sits, to be honest. Slightly different to his natural look. Think it looks fine, though.

That trailer was excellent, but it doesn't match up with what we saw in the behind the scenes for the specially made trailer... so I'd wager we're getting another trailer soon!
Man, trying to decode the plot given the details we've been given... we know it changes Who, and it takes place on Earth. Earth's always been a big part of DW, along with "NO MORE"... Earth gets totalled? I don't know! Man a month is far too long to wait, I'm so hyped.

Honestly I'm at the point where I don't care if we get a footage trailer, we've come so long without one, I feel like it's relatively easy to go in spoiler free, there's been so little spoilers to leak.

Err there's been a fair few. And the fact they let all the journos summarise the Comic-Con trailer word-for-word.

A load of fucking bollocks.
Sorry, I just wanted to do an avatar quote from that link.

Can't seem to find it on the BBCA or BBC site, but what time does this air on the 23rd? DST ends on Nov 3 in the US so I think that puts EST 5 hours before the UK time.
Hasn't been announced yet. BBC (the UK one) doesn't really announce the exact time they'll air a show until 10-ish days before it's on TV. As it'll be shown live around the globe, you won't know the US timeslot until you know the British one.
(Though I'm guessing it'll either air at 7 or 8 on BBC One. Unless they decide to go for 5:15, in keeping with the first episode 50 years ago, but that would be madness)

Not announced yet. BBC America supposedly have it scheduled for 2:45pm EST, 7:45 pm GMT.
Has the 3D showings of it been confirmed for America? I also heard there would be theatrical releases of it worldwide.

I was under the impression this had only been confirmed for the UK so far.
Dang. 3D Bluray, here I come.

I just want to know exactly where the cinema screenings will be available. If it's the same day and the same time, I'll be all over that.
Nope, 3D showings in Australia too. So I think it's safe to assume that the US will have them.
I've got my tickets, don't even care that I have to wait an extra 12 hours

It won't be, I shouldn't think, as releasing a print to cinemas could lead to leaks. They'll probably start the day after.

I'm good with having that trailer as the only preview. Actual footage will kill some of the potential "wow" factor

Ah, I didn't think they'd actually be handing out prints, I figured it would have just been a live broadcast to cinemas, which is a very "in" thing at the moment for major bands and the like.
But I guess it being in 3D could cock some of that up. Still, if it's good I'll gladly see it again on a big-ass screen.

They're showing it in 3D on TV too, and it will be shown at the same time at cinemas:
Doubt there'll be many cinemas showing it here in Northern Ireland, tickets will probably sell out fast.

They could do something along the same lines as Fathom events and stream it to theaters.

Yeah, what about itttttt....... oh. Oh. Ohhhhhhhhh.
I think what he's trying to get at, is that we might get a apperance from classic doctors, through 3d wizardry.
This is probably going to be my first time watching Doctor Who on BBC America, so I want to know if they show a lot of commercials thus shortening the run time?
