From an e-mail I got:
"Plot summary: 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...
All of the cast are on board - Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John Jules, Robert Llewellyn, Norman Lovett (yay!), Chloe Annett and Mac McDonald. An actress called Leila Johnson is also listed to play Nirvana Crane.
"The movie is more or less a "reboot" of Red Dwarf, and is not intended to be a direct sequel to the TV series (the last episode of which ended on a cliffhanger); the continuity is slightly different in all three forms - novels, television and film - that Red Dwarf has appeared in."
Filming will take place in Australia."
Can you say "Battlestar Galactica + Borg ripoff"?

Mocking SF conventions is pretty much the whole point of Red Dwarf, anyway. It's basically Hitchiker's Guide... shotgun-married to the grimy industrial milieu of the Alien films to begin with...

A great rationalization for enjoying Red Dwarf and not appearing to be a geek.
I'm using that.
