Jennifer Garner to Star in Arthur Remake With Russell Brand

Jennifer Garner Joins Russell Brand in Arthur

June 11, 2010

Remakes are all the rage right now (there's not one but two hitting theaters just this weekend), and it sounds like Jennifer Garner is ready to jump on the bandwagon. She's in talks to star in the upcoming remake of Arthur, starring Russell Brand and Helen Mirren. Garner would play the rich heiress whom Arthur's mother (Mirren) wants her son to marry, though Arthur himself prefers a poor girl (Greta Gerwig). Nick Nolte is also lined up to play Arthur's religious father.

I personally love Jennifer Garner's comedic side (particularly in The Invention of Lying), and I can easily see her playing the prim and proper foil to Russell Brand's crazy. We already know that Brand is super excited about the film, but are you into the latest additions to the cast?

Hollywood is going cold turkey on pork. Tinseltown is even importing sleaze from the United Kingdom. Russell Brand does brand Hollywood no favours. He is famous in the United Kingdom for his bizarre and anti social behaviour. He harrassed and abused an old gentleman. There was public outcry in the media at the time. He advocates promiscuity and perversion. What attracts women to this "Rudolf Valintino" of the silverscreen? Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes Zoster, Vaginale Thrush, Bartolin Cyst, Scabies, or are they addicted to Penecillin. He is a shameless swagger, with no substance to his character. Hollywood and his future leading ladies are welcome to him. We will know where they have been. For that matter, so will their "grandfathers. Dudley Moore was an accomplished and sophisticated actor, respected and loved by audiences all over the world. The re make of "Arthur" is an insult to his memory. Warner Bros are truly in the gutters with this one. Chaim Paddaman
