Russell Brand As Arthur

Here's Russell Brand, the former prostatetute who was tamed by Katy Perry's chichis, on the NYC set of the remake of Arthur. Russell has snatched the title from Dudley Moore. The rest of the cast includes Jennifer Garner, Helen Mirren and Nick Nolte.

I don't know about this mess. Judging by his costume, it looks like Arthur got an Annie Hall Easter makeover by one of the Jonas Brothers. Although, at least our asses know that Arthur 2.0 dresses to the right.

I don't understand why British people are all so ugly. The entire country is full of weird looking folks with big, crooked teeth.

Gawd Russell, put on some undershorts. This doesn't look good on Cisco Adler and it doesn't look good on you either.

The stupid arrogant studio suits ran out of ideas years ago; now all they know how to do is remakes, reboots and sequels, butchering them as they go; what a bunch of fucking assholes.

This guy is not funny and he is not cute to look at. At least Jack Black was endearing, this guy has none of that charm.

wait what? jennifer garner in liza minelli's role? what?? omg i have to read more carefully.

i do not think he is brave for taking on such an iconic role.

i think he is a moron who should have left it alone. there is NO CHANCE this movie can do anything but suck, compared to the original.

does he really not know that?? shouldn't EVeryone involved know that they have no choice but to make a vastly inferior movie?

do you think he wants a piece of cheese?

Hrrmmm judging from the photo I'd say Donald Sutherland is probably playing Hobson and Helen Mirren is likely Martha (Arthur's grandmother).
Ok casting(kill to see Sir Ian Mcklennan as Hobson but DS is a good choice too), but pictured more of a wide-eyed ingenue like Zoey Deschanel or even Christina Ricci for the love interest, definitely not a Jen Gardner.
RB might work as Arthur tho. I'm interested to see if he can make audiences sympathize with his Arthur like they did Dudley Moore's.

EDIT
ok now that I put down my wine glass & picked up my reading glasses instead I realize that isn't actually Donald Sutherland in those pics so my post doesn't entirely make sense.

No, no, no, NO: He's not a "former prostitute." According to Katy Perry he's a former PROFESSIONAL prostitute.

I am still trying to figure out what a non-professional prostitute is.

Dudley Moore was an adorable, funny and unforgettable guy. I can't see Russell Brand reprising this role to any merit. RB will never have that subtle edge that characterized all of Dudley Moore's roles.

I love him, and I know it's wrong. I seriously think he's one of the sexiest men in the world, which is a major mindfuck! I don't get it, but yum. My first impression of him was "GROSS!" - but after he toned down the hair & took off that dreadful makeup, he's really grown on me. I think it was "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" that got me thinking about him in the dirty way... I hate myself!

OT- I have NEVER laughed at a Russel Brand joke. I don't see the appeal, and he should stay in the UK. Arthur was boring, but back then, I actually thought Liza was a real down-to-earth person from those movies, the bitch.

I don't know what I hate more Russell Douchebag "I'm a Celebrity because I have a British accent" Brand or stupid fucking remakes of classic movies.

Wow! Why? Because he's a current no-talent bum-whacking fad with a British accent?? For shame! Dudley's shoes are HUGE to fill and this guy just doesn't do it. Think Steve Martin as the Pink Panther. These classics should just be left the hell alone!!

FUCK HOLLYWOOD AND THE FUCKING STUDIO SUITS MAKING THIS ABORTION.

The stupid arrogant studio suits ran out of ideas years ago; now all they know how to do is remakes, reboots and sequels, butchering them as they go; what a bunch of fucking assholes. Here's a partial list of what's been remade recently or is in production to be remade. As you read this list of fan favorites & classics they plan to butcher to get every last penny out of, I repeat: FUCK ALL HOLLYWOOD SUITS:

the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
Barbarella

Conan the Barbarian
Creature From The Black Lagoon

Death Wish
Daredevil
Escape From New York
