Film Music Reporter has learned that composer Theodore Shapiro is currently writing the score for the upcoming comedy Arthur. The movie directed by Jason Winer (Modern Family) is a remake of the 1981 film with the same title starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli, which won Oscars for Moore and best screenplay. The original movie was scored by Burt Bacharach, who was Academy Award-nominated for his song “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)”. The remake stars Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Greta Gerwig, Jennifer Garner and Nick Nolte. Arthur centers around drunken playboy who stands to lose a wealthy inheritance when he falls for a woman his family doesn’t like. Warner Bros will release the movie on April 8, 2011.
