Moore's the pity...

According to the Hollywood Reporter, disgraced British 'comedian' Russell Brand is busy developing a remake of the 1981 film 'Arthur', in which he intends to take the role originally played by Dudley Moore, may he rest in peace. One can only assume that this is meant to be ironic casting, which is bound to lead to a cast-iron box office flop (or should that be fop).
Well Russell, if that's 'The Best That You Can Do', perhaps you should stick to making obscene phone calls to OAPs and leave the grave-robbing to Brendan Fraser.

Arthur (1981) -

Moore is the rich drunk
Who falls for Minnelli's charms.
The butler did it.
