"Actor: Matthew Jacobs"

• Doctor Who Am I | Blu Ray | (28/11/2022) from £7.79   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In 1996, a Doctor Who TV movie starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, was envisioned to launch the franchise into an exciting new chapter. But whilst the film found success in the UK, attempts to freshen up established lore resulted in a decidedly frosty reception from transatlantic audiences. Now, a quarter of a century later, screenwriter Matthew Jacobs prepares to venture back into the legendary sci-fi universe, to reassess his relationship with the franchise and the American fandom who vilified him. Featuring original cast of the controversial movie, including Paul McGann (The Three Musketeers, Queen of the Damned), Eric Roberts (Inherent Vice, The Dark Knight, The Expendables), and Daphne Ashbrook (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), this funny and emotionally perilous documentary not only revisits a pivotal moment in Doctor Who history, but highlights the unity and creative freedom within the fandom, as Jacobs ultimately, and unexpectedly, finds himself a kindred part of this close-knit, yet vast, family of fans.

  From the director of Candyman and Immortal Beloved comes a powerful tale that delves into the heart of the human condition. Basil (Danny Huston) leaves his family on Boxing Day to pursue a lucrative property deal in Colorado. He hires local chauffeur Nick (Matthew Jacobs) to drive him into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The mens' backgrounds are as different as their points of view: Basil, the shrewd and abrupt American businessman pitched against his charming and recently divorced English driver. But as the evening sets in, the growing menace of the elements leaves the men with no choice but to work together if they are to survive the night. This modern day interpretation of Tolstoy's novella 'Master and Man', follows Ivansxtc and The Kreutzer Sonata as the third film in Bernard Rose's series of Tolstoy adaptations.
