Movie Crew Announced

The first names for the ever-expanding Red Dwarf Movie credit list.

23 March, 2001

With reddwarf.co.uk having already brought you the first confirmed news of the original series cast's involvement with Red Dwarf - The Movie (including Hollister actor Mac McDonald), we now have the first emerging details of some of the film's key behind-the-scenes players. We can exclusively reveal that Ed Bye is to share the director's chair with screenwriter Doug Naylor.

Elsewhere, there are a great many of the Red Dwarf TV team returning for the move to the big screen. Editor Mark Wybourn and sound supervisor Jem Whippey have both been lined up, as has casting director Linda Glover, make-up artist Andrea Finch and series costume designer Howard Burden.

Newcomers to the team so far include storyboard artist Jim Cornish, who recently worked on the Lost in Space movie and Dinotopia, and line producer Patricia Carr ('Who,' quips Doug, 'has worked on most of the films in my video collection.'). Patricia is well known in the industry, having work on The Mummy, 102 Dalmatians, Alien 3 and Roger Rabbit, plus all three of the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies. (That's almost enough numbers to fill a lottery ticket!)
