Richard E Grant and Paul McGann are to be reunited on the screen almost 20 years after they starred together in cult movie Withnail & I.
Always Crashing In The Same Car will feature the two British actors reprising similar roles to characters Withnail and Marwood in the 1987 classic.
The 11-minute collaboration, directed by Duncan Wellaway, came about after McGann read the script at the Dinard Film Festival in France (Oct05), and suggested Grant should get involved.
Wellaway says, “Richard is so perfect for this character and I was over the moon when he said he’d do it. I didn’t think starting out with this project that I would succeed where so many other directors have failed, reuniting Withnail and I 20 years on.”
“There was a real kind of sense from both (McGann and Grant) that they were very happy to be working together again. They were quite un-egotistical. It was quite sweet really.”

Many apologies for not keeping up with REG news these past few months as I’ve just been too snowed under with other things. I should add that one of the best ways to be informed on the latest REG news is to read The Forum, where lots of people from all around the world announce what’s new in their neck of the woods on all things REG. Most prolific is Sue W., who seems to find a ton of stuff and, usually, before I even have an inkling of it.
Fortunately – for the most part – it’s been a fairly quiet time for REG news in general. Richard’s directorial debut, Wah-Wah, will be released on DVD in November. Anyone interested in it can pick up a copy through the Amazon.com links below – U.S.A. on the left and U.K. on the right.
