Despite the box-office failure of Arthur, Russell Brand is still being sought for leading roles, with an Oscar winner chasing him for her debut feature.
Juno writer Diablo Cody will make her directorial debut with Lamb of God, and according to Twitchfilm, Brand is who she wants to lead the film. The comedy would follow a "young conservative religious woman who loses her faith after a plane crash. Headed to Las Vegas to live the life of a sinner, her journey brings her full circle back to faith." If Cody wasn't directing I'd completely write this once off on concept alone.
American dancer Julianne Hough, who is also appearing opposite Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages, is being sought for the female lead.
