Poster for Upcoming 'Arthur'

I still don't understand what exactly Russell Brand has done to deserve leading role status in Hollywood.  The guy seems to have capitalized on the fact he was in one of 2008's more funnier films (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), be it a small role, and his public relationship with Katy Perry.  I can think of plenty of seasoned comedians who have paid their dues and deserve the roles Brand seems to be getting.

Anyway, here's the poster for his upcoming remake of the classic comedy, Arthur, also featuring Jennifer Garner and Helen Mirren.  Ironic the film's tagline is, "No Work.  All play."  Pretty much sums up Brand's lifestyle of free-loading off his girlfriend's popularity and getting attention he hasn't earned.

Yeah, that's right.  I went there.

Irresponsible charmer Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and the good sense of lifelong nanny Hobson (Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble. Now he faces his biggest challenge–choosing between an arranged marriage that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can’t buy, Naomi (Greta Gerwig), the only woman he has ever loved. With Naomi’s inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn what it means to become a man, in this re-imagining of the classic romantic comedy “Arthur.”
