Russell Brand As Arthur, I’m Convinced

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Here is the first shot of Russell Brand for the upcoming remake of Arthur.  The original movie that starred Dudley Moore is actually really funny, I still prefer Santa Clause: The Movie to any of his work, but I don’t have taste.  Arthur is a wealthy drunk playboy who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress (played by Jennifer Garner) his family thinks will make something out of him.  Helen Mirren will play Arthur’s long-time nanny, who replaces the valet character from the original film.

Russell Brand

Russell Brand doesn’t get enough credit; he’s easily one of the funniest and smartest comedians/actors today. His book by the way is a bit of terrific, and his stand-up is top notch. There is still hope for a Drop Dead Fred remake! (more…)

Get Him To The Greek

The title says it all really, but have my two cents anyways.  Here is the first five minutes of the upcoming comedy Get Him To The Greek.  It’s pretty funny and from what I have heard, the whole movie is hilarious.  I can’t flick away when Forgetting Sarah Marshall comes on the telly, it’s one of those movies right?  Like Suburban Commando!  No?

Here’s the five minutes oh and “I was frozen today!” (more…)

drop dead again fred

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

If you have never seen the movie DROP DEAD FRED, I advise you to go rent it now.  Just ask the clerk where the funny as fu** section is, he will know what you’re looking for.  Turns out that Universal Pictures is developing a remake of Drop Dead Fred for Russell Brand to star in. Saturday Night Live writer Dennis McNicholas has been hired to develop the project for Brand. McNicholas most recently wrote Land of the Lost for Will Ferrell. THR says the plan is to remake the movie in the tone of Beetlejuice, “building a universe around the concept of imaginary friends.” Oh yeah…I get it.  What?

The original film was bashed by critics, not particularly well liked by moviegoers, didn’t make much money at the box office ($13.8 million), but has developed a small cult following on home video thanks to my dad’s repeat renting.  So why remake it?  Hollywood baby, Hollywood.
