And has decided that something 25+ years old will always be better than anything anybody might come up with today...so they'll clone it.

Russell Brand developing "Arthur" remake - Yahoo! News UK:

The controversial comedian is developing a remake of "Arthur," the 1981 comedy that starred Dudley Moore, as a potential starring vehicle. He is meeting with scribes to write the screenplay for Warner Bros.

The original movie followed a boozy playboy rascal who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. However, he falls in love with a working-class woman and turns to his valet for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.
