About Movie:

Red Nose Day Actually is a British romantic comedy television short promotional film, following a dozen of the characters from Richard Curtis’ Christmas film Love Actually, as part of the fundraising event Red Nose Day 2017. Curtis returns with many of the film’s cast members including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Andrew Lincoln, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Keira Knightley, Martine McCutcheon, Bill Nighy, Thomas Sangster, Lúcia Moniz, Olivia Olson, Marcus Brigstocke, and Rowan Atkinson.

Actors who did not return included Emma Thompson, Martin Freeman, Joanna Page, Rodrigo Santoro, and Gregor Fisher. Emma Thompson explained her absence from the film: “Richard wrote to me and said, ‘Darling, we can’t write anything for you because of Alan,’ and I said, ‘No, of course, it would be sad, too sad,’” referring to the then-recent death of on-screen husband Alan Rickman.

Shooting began in February 2017, with the film being announced at the same time.

The short film was first broadcast on BBC One on 24 March 2017 as a part of Red Nose Day. A slightly different version of the film, featuring Laura Linney reprising her role and Patrick Dempsey, was broadcast in the US on 25 May 2017.
