Greta Gerwig to Arthur?

I told you Greta Gerwig was going places, and like, whoa: The 25-year-old pride of Sacramento is reportedly in talks to star opposite Russell Brand and Helen Mirren in Warner Bros.' remake of Arthur. Gerwig would inherit Liza Minnelli's role as the shoplifting waitress who wins the titular playboy's wealthy, drunken heart; it would be Gerwig's second big get since Greenberg (after... I can't even bear to mention it), and her first leading-lady role for an honest-to-God studio. With the minor qualification that nobody should be remaking Arthur in the first place, this is fantastic! [Deadline]
