    When - if - they ever get around to making a movie of Red Dwarf, the original cast will surely be too old. So - who would be your dream cast for a RD movie? Ok, maybe the original cast could still do it, but go with it. ;)

    I'll start you off; going with the idea of an American(ish) cast:

    Lister; :p Matthew Lillard
    Rimmer; :mad: Ben Stiller
    Cat; :cool: Snoop Dog
    Kryten; :( Rowan Atkinson
    Holly; :confused: Kate Beckinsale

    Any suggestions?

    I'm not a fan of Stiller, just can't think of anyone else who can play an annoying dork that you love to hate.

    Jim Carrey
    Steve Carrell
    Will Ferrel
    Seth Green
    Mike Meyers

    All dorks we love to hate...whether they'd be a match for Rimmer is a completely different topic.

    I don't know if anyone could do a better Rimmer then Chris Barrie.... i saw the one recently where he has left to be "Ace Rimmer " and because Lister misses him he goes to "Rimmer World" and Rimmer is singing and dancing. Seriously, it had me in tears. Wouldn't have been nearly as funny with Ben Stiller.

    True, if Red Dwarf has one failing it is character replacement

    New Holly - Muck
    New Kochanski - Utter muck, bring back that lass with the sxey Scottish accent:D
    New Kryten - OK, exception to the rule, that one was a vast improvement ;)
