Its official, Hollywood has run out of story ideas! Universal has announced plans to remake, Drop Dead Fred. The only good bit is that they’ve signed on Russell Brand to star in it.
In 1991 original starred Phoebe Cates as a wallflower who loses her job and husband during the course of a lunch hour. Forced to live back home, she’s reunited with her childhood imaginary friend (Brit actor Rik Mayall), who promises to help but causes more havoc. Russy will be playing the role of the trouble making pal.
The writer who brought Land of the Lost, Dennis McNicholas, is writing this remake.
Brand is also set to star in the remake of Arthur.
