Movie promo material

[Zombie Jim Undead]

I remember seeing these on the web a long time ago. Was it ever confirmed whether or not they were genuine?

Yeah, they’re real. I was cynical at the time, but it was confirmed on TOS.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

Hmm…interesting. So…judging from these, the plot would have been quite different to anything we’d seen before. Sounds a clever way of having a stand-alone story which dovetails into (and presumably completes) the rest of the saga.

[John Hoare]

The idea was that the Movie is a COMPLETELY separate continuity – as separate as the books and TV series are.

[ChrisM]

They credit Danny with Blade 1 & 2, but I’m sure he was only in the second one…

And yes it definitely looks like an interesting storyline. Only problem could be that people would criticize the Sapienoids as being a rip off of the Doctor Who cybermen… which would be a shame since the movie script was written before the new Doctor Who series came out. (I’m referring to the cybermen of human origin from the new series of course, not the alien cybermen of the original series.)

That being said, cyborgs are always cool, and have appeared in various forms in different sci-fi films/programes. I’m sure the Red Dwarf spin would do something different with the concept.

That flyer…man. EVERYTHING that was wrong on there, that was hustled together by Winchester in time for the film fair, was corrected. The artwork was fixed. Then this one, somehow, got printed anyway. It was far away and out of our control…but hey, it’s not like it was ever going to show up on the internet, right?

Every time I read that synopsis it pains me… It could have been so good. The idea of a ‘Death’ ship coming after the Dwarf is pretty cool. It would be good to know *hint* anything *hint* else *hint* about *hint* the *hint* story…

Hopefully we might have news soon of ways in which you may learn more.

A hint for a hint. I like the sound of this…

No I really do. I’m not being sarcastic.

Well I might be contemplating the thought of the possibility of thinking about looking forward to this…

*wets self*

Ooooohhhh! I remember hearing whisperings of big news a while ago. Could this be it?

Failing news of the movie going into production, it’d be great to have a book…or better even – a DVD detaling the story of the movie that never was…with all available pre-production materials and interviews, etc…and a feature-length documentary. Like “Lost In Lamancha”.

Released as “Red Dwarf: Not The Movie”.

That’d be reet good.

Red Dwarf: The Signatures

[ChrisM]

I’m not to keen on a book or DVD with details of the movie simply because that might lessen the chance of it ever being made in some form i.e. TV film, animation, play, whatever.

That being said, if it’s that or nothing, then I’d probably get it!

I would LOVE radio play with full cast.
