First Footage From Arthur With Russell Brand And Helen Mirren

Posted on January 27, 2011 by Brendon Connelly

There’s no trailer yet, but our first look at Arthur, the Russell Brand-starring remake of the offensive “drunks are funny” comedy of the early 80s, cropped up on TV the other night. Shortly after I turned my TV off. Luckily, …
