Russell Brand to redo 'Arthur?' Cheers, dahling!
Russell Brand in a remake of "Arthur?"
Bloody brilliant, mate!
It makes total sense for Brand to play the lead role (originally Dudley Moore), a lovable, filthy rich hopeless alcoholic who falls in love with a working-class gal (Liza Minnelli) and doesn't want to marry the high-society control freak his family has set him up with.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the British comedian is developing the "Arthur" remake for Warner Bros. The movie will be produced by MBST's Larry Brezner ("Good Morning, Vietnam," "Little Britain USA").
Brand was totally hilarious hosting the MTV Music Video Awards with his effete rock star persona. And he was charmingly annoyingly as a rock-star womanizer in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Brand's Hollywood career seems to be taking off, even though one might use the word "typecast."
Upcoming projects include "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler, Julie Taymor's adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and "Get Him to the Greek."
But who will play Liza's role?
Please don't let it be Kate Hudson, Brittany Murphy, Drew Barrymore or Cameron Diaz.
Maybe Anne Hathaway? She has a Minnelli-like quality.
As for the butler, played by the late John Gielguld? Any suggestions?

John Cleese as the butler.
Ellen Page is a bit too young, so how about Maggie Gyllehaal?
Or Elizabeth Banks?
Hollywood is going cold turkey on pork. Tinseltown is even importing sleaze from the United Kingdom. Russell Brand does Brand Hollywood no favours. He is famous in the United Kingdom for his bizarre and anti social behaviour. He harrassed and abused an old gentleman. There was public outcry in the media at the time. He advocates promiscuity and perversion. What attracts women to this "Rudolph Valintino" of the silverscreen? Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis,Herpes Zoster, Vaginal Thrush, Bartolin Cyst, Scabies, or are they addicted to Penicillin. He is a shameless swagger, with no substance to his character. Hollywood and his future leading ladies are welcome to him. We will know where they have been. For that matter, so will their grandfathers. Please view my video, Chaim Paddaman:If Pigs could fly, Hollywood would be an Airport. (Tag) Peyronnes Disease holds dire consequences for an industry where "payment in kind" is made in doodle. Horny David Letterman is in a position to validate this Big Bang Theory. The **** hits the fan. Disaster strikes on the casting couch. It is comedy of outrageous proportions. Give it a go. It is part of the Chaim Paddaman supports the Big Bang Theory on CBS. It is Jewish tongue in cheek humour.
