"Nicolas Winding Refn has claimed that he was turned down for an episode of Doctor Who. The Drive director told ShortList that he is a fan of the BBC drama, which stars Matt Smith. &amp;quot;I would have loved to direct Doctor Who but they didn&amp;#039;t want me,&amp;quot; he insisted. &amp;quot;They turned me down last year.&amp;quot; Refn - who is currently developing a remake of 1976 sci-fi film Logan&amp;#039;s Run - also revealed that he is a fan of the BBC&amp;#039;s classic space opera Blake&amp;#039;s 7, which ran from 1978 to 1981. &amp;quot;Maybe if they revive Blake&amp;#039;s 7 I could do that,&amp;quot; he suggested. &amp;quot;I love it. It&amp;#039;s great. That could be fun to update.&amp;quot;  Sky1 announced plans to revive Blake&amp;#039;s 7 for two hour-long specials in 2008, but the project was later abandoned. Refn has previously admitted that he is keen to make a Wonder Woman movie, citing Drive star Christina Hendricks as his ideal choice to play the heroine. &amp;gt; Matt Smith on Doctor Who: &amp;#039;I have no plans to leave&amp;#039; - video Watch Nicolas Winding Refn discuss his planned Wonder Woman movie with Digital Spy below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
