Yeah, unfortunately a typical series of episodes in the UK is about 6 or so episodes

Last I've heard about the movie is that it is due to start filming this month in Australia. (Unfortunately, even this news was reported in October last year)

I have heard rumors that the filming started in Aussieland this week. I do know for sure that the Hitchhiker's Guide Movie is Filming as we type.

Last I heard it was still on the way - seem to recall chatting with CapRahn on this one a ways back. Chris Barrie's Hollywood (well, Tomb Raider) career may have both helped and hindered.

If I recall rightly, its a scheduling matter, and a little bit of funding.

Yep, MBV, we did, on the Alpha Chat a while back!

Hey,

I beat the official movie to it by releasing my own Red Dwarf - The Other Movie.......

He He.

I have been promised by GN Productions that it will appear on the series 8 DVD as a Bonus Extra next year.

So you may get to see my piece of obscurity.

I really loved Red Dwarf.. but the last couple of series fell away for me. I think when Christine Chuckanski came on the crew they lost a little something..

Holly was my favourite(the male Holly). Followed very close by Rimmer(he is such a smeghead)

IMDB is a pretty standard industry source for movie/tv information. Generally what it posts is pretty reliable.

While I love visiting IMDB to read about movies I've already seen, I wouldn't trust it too much as a source of information for movies that have not been made yet. It has a tendency to treat every rumour as a fact. For example, while it has a page announcing that there will be a new Superman movie in 2006, don't bank on it...that film has been in development hell for more than five years.

I wouldn't be surprised if that Red Dwarf movie information has been up there for several years, with the anticipated release date changing periodically. Until filming actually begins don't get too excited.

I kind of doubt that a Red Dwarf film will get made, but I could be wrong. I never thought a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie would get made, but filming began a few weeks ago! That film looks promising, with a good cast.

And of course, I never thought a Firefly movie would be made either... I still can't quite believe it!

Yes, true. As I understand it, the IMDB gets updated by its users, so it's only as reliable as the average poster - who is as likely to be a fan as an insider.

The Red Dwarf movie has been bubbling under for years now - most recently, I think, because of Chris Barrie's Tomb Raider duties. Can't help but wonder if it isn't a little late, now, even if it does get made; the show hasn't been on the air (except as repeats) for what... five years?

There were eight seasons of Red Dwarf, each with six episodes except the final one, which had 8, IIRC. It was never quite the same once the co-creator left after season 6, though.

Favourite moment? Oh, too many, though most of them involve Rimmer. :-D I think 'Marooned' is my fave episode.

"They've taken Mr Rimmer! Sir, they've taken Mr Rimmer!"
"Quick, let's get out of here before they bring him back!"
