[QUOTE="harmyn, post: 2894950, member: 13511"] Thought I would share with everyone some of the interesting bits from the E-Newsletter I receive called GENre Weekly from the still young science fiction/fantasy network called GENre (check local listings): A sad bit of news for Billie Piper fans. [I]For the Record[/I] tells us that the smashingly popular character Rose Tyler has a last date with the Doctor and his TARDIS set for the Series 2 Finale of the hit sci-fi show [I]Dr. Who[/I] titled "Doomsday". She said that it has been a great experience and she loved taking Rose on the "Adventure of a Lifetime" but that other projects and opportunities have come along that she simply couldn't refuse. She has nothing but gratitude for [Russell T] Davies and the amazing opportunity he had given her in playing such a complex and realistic character. Unlike the announcement of Christopher Eccleston's departure as the Ninth Doctor at the end of Series 1; the BBC has been able to keep a lid on news of Billie's departure until they were ready to make it official. [I]Doctor Who[/I] Series 3 starts filming again later this summer with a Christmas Show planned for 2006 and the 13 episode season to air in 2007.As for Billie Piper, she is currently starring as the lead in the BBC production of Phillip Pullman's fantasy novel [I]The Ruby in the Smoke[/I]. This week's [I]GENre ARThouse[/I] article went into the background on the currently in Production "[I]Knights of the Exis Saga II: The Doomed Crusade[/I]. The mini-series starts showing the many different paths the young Jedi Knights had taken. One became a senator, another a junk-trader on the fringe, a third turned into an archeologist of sorts.

In the [I]From the Crypts[/I] we see two names that most wouldn't really expect to see in a column dedicated to the world of Horror Films; Alan Rickman and Dustan Hoffman. They are starring in the period horror movie entitled, [I]Perfume, the Story of a Murderer[/I].
