Peter Baynham (“Borat,” “Bruno”) will pen the remake of Dudley Moore 1981 comedy “Arthur” for Warner Bros. Pictures reports Variety.
The project is being crafted as a vehicle for Russell Brand (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) as the boozy playboy whose plan to marry into a moneyed family goes awry when he falls in love with a working class gal.
Larry Brezner will produce.
