BigChiefStudiosLimited said:Ten years ago to the day an old friend returned to our TV screens. Memorably portrayed by Christopher Eccleston, the Doctor came back into our lives to save humankind all over again. In celebration of the return of the world’s favourite time traveller, BIG Chief Studios are pleased to announce that the next collector figure will be the quite brilliant Ninth Doctor. Stayed tuned for future updates...
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there IS a SE. People over exaggerate CE's feelings about Doctor Who.

Anyway, this is great news. I can't wait for them to reveal. I may just buy the RTD TARDIS after all.
If I remember correctly, the reason he didn't come back for the 50th had more to do with a scheduling conflict with filming Thor: the Dark World than being unwilling. He did meet with Moffat about returning.
My memory could be faulty. Woudn't be the 1st time.
As for Christopher Eccleston not being in the special, Moffat says, “I sort of knew that he wouldn’t. I know Chris a bit. I did a couple of meetings, and there was a moment, I suppose, a giddy moment where [I thought] ‘Would he actually do it?’ This wasn’t the kind of decision he took in a funk or that he was cross. He was very measured, very kind, very gentlemanly about it. He’s a good bloke. If you look at Chris’s career, this is not what he does. The Ninth Doctor turns up for the battle and not the party.”

I believe he genuinely loved being in DW but he his work ethics wouldn't allow him to continue in the role and (for different reasons) wouldn't allow him to participate in the 50th. He did reenact his role for a guy's wedding proposal and he is always more than happy to sign autographs for fans.
