[Niki Hutchinson]

Well, unless nobody else hasn’t already said this… There are now 4 full Storyboard Sequences from the never-made Red Dwarf Movie. Courtesy of Stasis Leak.org (Seriously this site is becoming the holy grail of RD scans archives) 

Here’s the link, enjoy smeggers !!!

So how much does exist? Are there more storyboards?

Yes, you can see some examples in the TOS archive.

A book like that to pore over would indeed be very nice. I don’t believe the pre-production ever got any further than scripts and storyboards but obviously if any props/sets/costumes were made then it would be cool to see photos as well. They did have table-reads with Richard O’Callaghan playing Rogey, which I’m pretty sure is the only confirmed bit of casting we’ve ever heard about apart from the regular cast members. There were rumours about the likes of Jackie Chan and Madonna, supposedly a fan of the show, appearing in the movie, Madonna as the Queen of the Sapienoids iirc, possibly ‘Her Holiness’ in those bits of concept art.

I remember rumours of one of the Spice Girls being in it.

Im guessing either the movie jumped around as much as Dougs Dave era scripts and it included both the Cat people and those droids or Doug replaced the droids with the Cats to reduce the budget. Doug did say the budget they were asking for was getting lesser and lesser as the years went on.

[Jimboid]

If I recall correctly, some models, costumes (and possibly sets?) made for the movie were repurposed and used in 2009’s “Moon”.

Ah yeah I forgot about that. Not sure about costumes but Bill Pearson worked on Moon and I remember hearing he recycled some Red Dwarf stuff for models. Those moon rover vehicles possibly.

A roverostomy, they call it.

I feel like the only stuff we absolutely know for sure came out of a version of the movie are ambiguous scenes from The Beginning and the operating scene from Lemons.

[Jonsmad]

Werent these on the official website in 2002ish?  I’ve seen the Hogey one before, because i saw it before The Beginning aired.
