England's #1 Rascal Eyeing Rascaly Lead in Arthur Remake
Filed under: Anglophilia > Film Flickers > Russell Brand
Russell Brand continues to take Hollywood by storm!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he may star in the remake of the 1981 flick, Arthur, for Warner Brothers.
The original movie starred dearly departed English funny man Dudley Moore as a boozy playboy rascal 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.
Boozy, playboy, rascal.
This part has Russell written all over it!
Moore earned an Oscar nod for his role in the original Arthur.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if Russ was able to pull off the same?!

Re: SBFREAKSgirl925 – no better person to have a conversation with than yourself!!
Re: Milky Milky – i miss you morer!!!!!
Although I like Russel, Arthur should be left alone. It is a true classic that no one will ever be able to do justice to. Dudley will always be Arthur and that cast can never be duplicated. Leave it be and for Christ's sake be creative and write something original instead of redoing some else's work.
Re: Milky Milky – They're going to hunt you down to thank you.
I'm so ready to be off today! This day keeps draggin n draggin!
Re: Pwn3d! – and what else are you gonna do to milky?! she likes it when you play with her teats
There is no way in hell that dude will get nominated for an oscar or pull off playing that part. That movie is a classic and it greatly saddens me that they would even think of a remake. There is a major lack of new material in Hollywood! Pathetic!
No, thanks. He's disgusting looking and I can't understand a damn word he says.
I might kill him tonight.
Re: Milky Milky – YOUR HATER RUDE DUDE SUCKS…NO COMEBACK!
I CALLED HIM A FUCKING MORON…NOTHING..LAME HATER!
CHAZ007 WOULD OF STARTING BITCHING IT UP! LOL
.

EARLIER BLU "ACCIDENTALLY" CALLED ME AN ASSHOLE AND SAID STFU…IT WAS MEANT FOR RUDE DUDE BUT CLICKED ON ME….ALL IS WELL
Re: SBFREAKSgirl925 – He's no more creepy than finding your boss dead in his bed after fucking him in the ass last night.
Once again, why? So lame……..
Re: SBFREAKSgirl925 – I TALK TO MYSELF A LOT…USUALLY CALL MYSELF HOTTIE OR SEXY TO KEEP PEREZ'S SHITTY SITE WORKING SO I CAN SEE COMMENTS! LOL
I love ARTHUR. It's one of my all time favorite movies, back in the days when Liza Minnelli seemed relatively normal.
I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Dudley Moore and Sir John Gielgud in those roles. Gielgud was outstanding in that movie.
I still do quotes from that movie whenever I'm drunk. "You're a hedge!"
Re: mamajud – hey, i think todays imposter of mama of 2 was that lettybee person
But he isn't taking Hollywood by storm. He was just okay as a host, he has apologized profusely in the UK…why would we accept him in the classic role that Dudley Moore got an Oscar nom. for? Newsflash…the major studios announce massive layoffs due to lack of originality. Geez.
Hell nooooooo
Is this the same disaster that hosted the VMAS?! & that hair is not doing him any justice,sure its probably his "signature" signature of a douche though
donkey punch
Re: bluwizpee – I WISH MARIO WOULD POST ABOUT PROP 8 LOL
yeeey. and also to the person who said give amy her hair back, he was PRE-wino. get it righttt
He looks like he has rabies.
Re: ThreeFarmers – I AGREE…GREAT MOVIE! DUDLEY IS ARTHUR AND SOME NEW DOUCHE WILL FAIL!
russell is a demi-god in my book
Casting Perfection!!
Please, god, just don't cast Jessica Alba as his love interest. Then again, it's bound to be a shit re-make anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter…
I'm so sick of remakes! Boring!
Is that his real Eyecolour?
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! –
50.029384% said they voted YES! TO PROP H8! THAT'S NOT EVEN 1 % OF A PERSON! WTF MORMONS! Oh wait…aborted fetuses have the right to vote in CALI, so i guess that's the "small margin."
Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style! – SEXY!
RUSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME BACK TO LONDON PLEASE, WE MISS YOU SO MUCH! PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSE.
Re: Jbeanx – OMG WHY? AREN'T THEY JUST DREAMY?!?!?!?!
get over it…i'll suck them out of his skull and spit them in your soup.
oh say it aint so….leave Arthur alone!
I hate re-makes.
The movies were good for their time and had the right actors for their time but that doesn't mean doing it under today's standards is a good idea.
Re: Milky Milky – i missed out on that…..sugar walls and pignasty haven't been heard from in a while…….food for fodder
Perez Hates Me ^^
I could actually see it. I know people either love him or loathe him but I can definitely see him attempting Dudley's role.
Ewww.
Gag me with a dildo. Russell Brand is perfect for a serial killer but not Arthur. Danny DeVito or Joseph Fiennes would be better.
I LOVE the original Arthur. One of my all time faves! But this dip sh#! playing Dudley's part will ruin the movie. He's so bad! : (
He would be sublime as Aurther….I vote for Anne Hathaway to play Linda.
Isn't he gay and lives with his mother? He should play the butler.
Id love to see it!!
I LOVE RUSSEL BRAND !
I hope to see more of him, he was hilarious at the vmas, especially making fun of the jonas brothers !
also he looks very sweet and adorable, And i loved him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he did an amazing job !
Dudley Moore was a classically trained pianist who played his own piano in that movie. While I like Russell Brand, he can't compare to Dudley Moore's enormous talent.
oh god i want a t-shirt that says "Rascal" on it now genius idea! id be sooo cute! unstopably so…….
i fucking hate him. he never shuts the hell up
Pople seem to forget that Russell is actually talented.
By the way: Perez, he is not "boozy" he's been 100% clean and sober for over five years!
Re: SBFREAKSgirl925 – Yes
Maybe with a bag over his head? lol
BARF!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a straight to DVD to me.
Russel Brand is a repulsive prick. You couldn't pay me to see anything that douchebag churns out.
LOVE IT!!!! First I thought Liza Minnelli was too old to play the female lead for that first movie…she was 40 years old then!!!! It should go to someone who waas 1/2 her age….. I Think Russell will be great in the remake!!!!!
not a fan of him
That picture of him makes him look fucking atrocious.. but his personality's pretty chill, even though he talks so fast i can just barely understand him.
Oh God…I can't stand this guy…he's grosser then Jack Black….
