Modern Family director Jason Winer has reportedly signed to helm the remake of Arthur.

The original 1981 comedy starred Dudley Moore as a rich and boozy playboy forced to choose between love or money. Russell Brand will take on the lead role in the update, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Peter Baynham is writing the script for the project, produced by Sarah Schechter for Warner Bros.

Winer won a Director's Guild Award for his work on ABC's Modern Family.
