Now Up For Remake: ARTHUR, Now Starring Russell Brand!!

Merrick here...
Jason Winer, an Executive Producer/Director on ABC's MODERN FAMILY, will direct a remake of ARTHUR from a script by Peter Baynham (a Producer & Writer on the BORAT movie).

The original movie centered on a boozy playboy who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. However, he falls in love with a working-class woman and turns to his valet for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.

...says THR HERE. Wonder if we'll get a rap version of Christopher Cross' Oscar winning theme song from the original film:
