Curiosità

Starship, also known as Lorca and the Outlaws, and 2084, is a 1984 science fiction film directed by Roger Christian from a screenplay by Christian and Matthew Jacobs, and starring John Tarrant, Deep Roy, Donogh Rees, and Cassandra Webb. The music for the film was written by Tony Banks of Genesis.

Production

Following the tumultuous production of The Sender for Paramount Pictures, Roger Christian decided to produce his next film independently. Christian wrote the movie alongside Matthew Jacobs under the title 2084 as an unofficial update on 1984 by George Orwell except with a lighter tone and an emphasis on action and adventure, with a stylistic approach inspired by Bertrand Tavernier's Death Watch and Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville.

The film was initially intended to be filmed in Sweden, but the location was changed to Sydney, Australia so the crew could make use of a docked battleship Christian had obtained permission to use for the interiors of the Redwing starship.
