Russell Brand to Remake Arthur

Russell Brand has been making headlines these days for possibly starring in Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

But that's far down the line.

For now, the British actor has reportedly agree to star in a remake of Arthur, the 1981 comedy that starred Dudley Moore.

The original film followed a drunken playboy rascal that is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family believes will make something out of him.
