Despite previous reports, it looks like we may see a reunion between Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry Charles after all.
According to an exclusive report from theLA Times, Charles is attached to direct 'The Dictator,’ Cohen’s next comedy. As first reported by Film Junk, the film will feature two characters played by Cohen – a “goat herder and a ‘deposed foreign dictator who gets lost in the United States’” – and he will begin working on it after he finishes Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo Cabret.’
At first glance, the reunion makes sense. After all, their first collaboration – 2006’s ‘Borat’](Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) - Movie | Moviefone) – was a huge success, earning over $128 million, domestically, and a surprise Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Sure, lawsuits followed, but most seemed to agree that ‘Borat’ was, if anything, hilarious.
