“…caught between the moon and New York City.”
The British comedian, Russell Brand, is taking on the development of the remake of Arthur, a wonderful 1981 comedy that starred Dudley Moore, John Gielund and Liza Minnelli.
Brand hopes for the possiblity of starring in the remake.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the original movie followed a boozy playboy rogue (Moore) 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 (Minnelli) and turns to his valet (Gielgud) for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.
Moore was nominated for an Oscar as was Steve Gordon, the film’s writer-director. Gielgud won the best supporting actor Oscar, and the movie’s theme song, “The Best That You Can Do,” won for original song.
