Brand drops dead
You'll have to excuse me for never watching the cult classic DROP DEAD FRED as a child. I was too busy watching the collected works of Fellini and Bergman to care about petty North American movies. That's probably why I have never seen a film by Lucas, Spielberg, Scorsese or Kubrick either.
Finally though, I will get a chance to right my wrongs. Russell Brand is set to star in a remake of DROP DEAD FRED for Universal, in which he'll play the annoying imaginary friend that tormented Phoebe Cates in the original. Dennis McNicholas (LAND OF THE LOST) will pen the script, which will try and mimic the tone of BEETLEJUICE, by creating a universe built around the concept of imaginary friends. Something tells me this role may equal the best actor Oscar for Brand that everyone in the media has long been predicting.

Extra Tidbit: My girlfriend and Russell Brand might be long lost identical twins.

The only thing that makes me iffy is the idea it will try to mimic the tone of Beetlejuice. Not becaus...
The only thing that makes me iffy is the idea it will try to mimic the tone of Beetlejuice. Not because it's my favorite film from the '80s, but because Fred was sort of a cuddlier version of Beetlegeuse anyway. Need to do something different if anything at all.

And, GioFace, are you seriously referencing my username in your insult? Man, I haven't seen this much grasping at straws since I fucked your mother in the hay barn.

How the hell can you write for a film website, Barma? This is an extraordinary high level of film snobbery. Some of Fellini and Bergman's work is excruciatingly tedious.

He should just start packing up his shit and leave dodge now. He's used up his 15 mins.
A 3rd year acting student commits suicide every time a dude like this gets work.
