Red Dwarf Movie Page 2
It depends what you mean when you say, 'where there's a will there's a way'. Obviously it would be possible to make A Red Dwarf movie for less than £12m in Britain. But it wouldn't be possible to make THE Red Dwarf movie as it's been written. Britain obviously isn't a cost effective place to film though.
Personally I think that the special effects were always secondary on the show and the comedy was more important than the sci-fi. Therefore I wouldn't have minded if they'd tried to alter the script to reduce costs.
By a strange sequence of events, I found myself talking to the Australian producer of the Red Dwarf movie at a party last year. She was very nice. She said she was working hard on it with Doug Naylor. I asked if Rob Grant was involved and she said no - so I told her that most fans agreed that the series went to hell after Rob Grant left and this was news to her. I also told her the 'new' Kochanski had been unpopular and this was also news. I have no idea what happened with the film after that, but it was certainly still alive at that point - this was about last May...
