Art And Arthur

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan writer Peter Baynham will pen the remake of the classic 1981 Dudley Moore (pictured) comedy Arthur reports Variety.

Russell Brand ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall"). is the boozy playboy whose plan to marry into a wealthy family goes wrong when he falls in love with a working class gal.

Larry Brezner, the producer of the original will do the same here.

Steve Gordon who wrote and directed the original film created a very special film--I'm just not sold on a remake doing any better--with a Borat writer no less Sheesh!.
