Russell Brand — the lanky British rocker guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall — is currently developing a script for a remake to Dudley Moore’s 1981 movie, Arthur.
The original followed an alcoholic Moore, who finds himself in a peculiar situation where he’s forced to choose between endless wealth with the women he is marrying, and endless happiness with the girl he’s fallen in love with.
Sounds prime for a romantic comedy remake, if you ask me.
This is just one of many announced remakes this week — all part of the machine’s plan to remake everything ever made, if you hadn’t been informed yet.
The original Arthur won many Oscars, but for some reason, I don’t see this happening again.
