The actor is now attached to <strong>The President Stole My Girlfriend<\/strong>, a comedy spec script they recently purchased from Matt Portenoy. Additionally, Brand will be serving as a producer on what will be the first project from his recently established Branded Films production company.<\/p>\n<p>I think that the title pretty much sums up what we&#8217;re getting in terms of story here. However, Brand did expound on it slightly for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/russell-brand-president-stole-my-girlfriend-260725\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In this movie, the president steals the girlfriend of a sexy hippie\u2014me, obviously.
