Love Actually cost £30m to make. Now let's say Richard Curtis, who directed Love Actually and works for Comic Relief decided he was going to make a charity film. Many of the actors would not need paying, or if they did, much less. You'd have cameos all over the shop.
You could whip up a British recipe for success... some Hugh Grant, Simon Pegg, Emma Thompson... the usuals.
You're talking giant profits. Love Actually grossed £130m in just 5 months. That's £100m going straight to charity. And think of all the royalties there after.
So that's our little idea of the day. Charity Film. Hell, there've been enough charity gigs.

and who would pay for all the materials, props, productions and post? you think that actors are the ones who get the biggest cut?
warner bros is no charity, you know.

When we got the idea a while back, it was that people would donate money to charity (perhaps their name gets put in the credits) and then the money would be used to make the film.
A bit like charities putting money in the stock market. But a gauranteed winner with the usual actors on board.
