The actress Helen Mirren is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to give the counterpart to Russell Brand in the remake of the film Arthur. Mirren will incarnate the long time nurse of the main character.
This role will be transformed for the occasion since in original film, it was about a servant played by John Gielgud. This last had received besides an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role in 1981.
Dudley Moore incarnated Arthur in the original feature film published in 1981.

The character fell however in love with a woman from the working class. Having to choose between money or love, he requested the assistance of his servant to make the decision.
Peter Baynham (who worked recently on the mockumentary comedy films Borat and Bruno directed by Larry Charles) wrote the scenario of this new grinding. Arthur will be produced by Larry Brezner, Kevin McCormick and Chris Bender.
The filming should start next July in New York under the direction of Jason Winer.
