Russell Brand Shacks Up With Helen Mirren

And we think Katy Perry will approve!

Another remake is hitting the big screen, this time of Dudley Moore’s classic Arthur.

The 1981 comedy about a rich playboy who gets cut off from his parents will be reimagined with Russell Brand playing the lead and Helen Mirren starring opposite him as his longtime nanny.

Never would have thought to put them together. Hopefully, it’ll turn out funnier than we think it will.

Thoughts?
