Red Dwarf: The Movie is set in the distant future where Homo Sapienoids, a fearsome combination of flesh and machine, and the next stage of human evolution, have taken over the solar system and almost wiped out the human race. The only survivors are the crews of long-haul space freighters that left Earth before the conflict began. The Sapienoids send forth fleets of Death Ships to hunt them down. One by one - the human ships fall, until only one remains. Its name - Red Dwarf...

Doug Naylor revealed in a BBC documentary of Red Dwarf that one reason why it is taking so long for production to begin on the movie was disagreements he has had with Hollywood movie producers who wanted to recast the whole Red Dwarf crew. One such producer wanted too recast Craig Charles with Hugh Grant for the role of Dave Lister.
