DUDLEY MOORE, Liza Minnelli and the late Sir John Gielgud proved a magical combination in Steve Gordon's 1981 classic Arthur, which has been revamped in an upcoming Hollywood remake released next month.
Russell Brand follows in Moore's footsteps as the drunken playboy, Greta Gerwig is the love interest previously played by Minnelli and, in a gender-swapping update, Helen Mirren takes on Gielgud's role as the valet.
Also in the cast of director Jason Winer's new film are Jennifer Garner, Nick Nolte, Luis Guzman, Geraldine James and Jennie Eisenhower.
Superhero fans will notice that the Batmobile features in the trailer, with Brand's character dressing as Batman and his chauffeur Bitterman (Guzman) as Robin.
Hard-drinking partying billionaire Arthur (Brand) is set to marry Susan Johnson (Garner) a rich woman he doesn't love, and continue his irresponsible and childish ways, but his life is changed when he falls for gorgeous tour guide and aspiring children's book author Naomi Quinn (Gerwig).
Arthur hits UK cinemas on April 22 and the first trailer is included below. Also featured here are three stills from the production.
