When the idea of remaking the Dudley Moore comedy Arthur was first mooted, it’s fair to say most people were dubious, and the news Russell Brand was taking on the title role gave people even more pause. However from the evidence of this trailer it might actually be an awful lot of fun, with the role really playing to Brand’s anarchic strengths, anchored by Helen Mirren, who gets a relatively rare chance to show off her comedic talents. She play’s Arthur’s nanny, taking over from John Giegud’s Oscar-winning butler role in the original. The movie hits cinemas in April, but click below to take a look at the trailer.
