Sacha Baron Cohen is 'The Dictator' Saddam Hussein

Tweet

Sacha Baron Cohen has another intriguing comedy movie and it is from a novel by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein!


“The Dictator” is set for release on May 11, 2012 in which Paramount stated that “The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.” (Hilariously finny!)

Based on Hussein’s novel Zabibah and The King.

Larry Charles, who also helmed Borat and Bruno, will also direct the film.
