This thing about the movie... the guy running the whole scheme (scam?) wants an out-of-continuity movie, completely fresh and unrelated to the TV series, written by Americans who "understand" the British. While that's slightly more reassuring than "Americans who 'understand' 'Doctor Who'" (see all abortive '90s reboots, and theory that the first Doctor worked for the CIA), I don't think something unrelated to the TV series is a good idea, if only because it won't help overseas sales of the show because people will see it as dislocated from their first introduction to the series.
(By-the-way, there's an article about Death's Head over on the Starburst website!)
