Despite the fact that it doesn’t seem audiences are all that interested in him as a movie star, Russell Brand is trying to turn that around, and now has a new film up his sleeve that he plans to both produce and star in. According to THR, he’s attached to The President Stole My Girlfriend for Warner Bros.
Matt Portenoy, who recently finished a draft of the long-in-development Porky’s remake, has written the screenplay, which, according to Brand, was inspired by the night he invited Warner Bros. President Jeffrey Robinov to dinner. The story will follow a ‘sexy hippie’ who loses his girl to the President (as if nowadays a signle man could get elected to the top office in America).
The movie will be the first film out of Brand’s new production company, Branded Films.
