Love Actually cast komt samen in Red Nose Day Actually

Schrijver/regisseur Richard Curtis en de cast van Love Actually zullen wederom gaan samenwerken voor Red Nose Day Actually, een korte film die te zien is als onderdeel van Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day special. De film zal te zien zijn op 25 mei op NBC en op 24 maart op BBC1.

Het scenario van de film is geschreven door Curtis en ziet de terugkeer van de personages uit Love Actually. Acteurs Hugh Grant, Martine McCutcheon, Keira Knightley, Andrew Lincoln, Colin Firth, Lucia Moniz, Liam Neeson, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Olivia Olson, Bill Nighy, Marcus Brigstocke en Rowan Atkinson keren allen terug. Curtis zei:

“Over the years I’ve enjoyed doing Red Nose Day specials of TV things I’ve worked on – ‘Blackadder,’ ‘The Vicar of Dibley’ and ‘Mr Bean.’ It seemed like a fun idea this year to do a special sketch based one of my films, since Red Nose Day is now in both the UK and America. I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to ‘Love Actually,’ but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to. Who has aged best? – I guess that’s the big question… or is it so obviously Liam? We’ve been delighted and grateful that so many of the cast are around and able to take part – and it’ll certainly be a nostalgic moment getting back together and recreating their characters 14 years later. We hope to make something that’ll be fun – very much in the spirit of the original film and of Red Nose Day – and which we hope will help bring lots of viewers and cash to the Red Nose Day shows.”
