Can’t wait

news.com.au reports:

Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen will star in a new film based on a novel by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Paramount Pictures announced yesterday.

The inspiration for the project is Hussein’s 2000 romance novel Zabibah and The King – the story of a wise monarch who falls in love with a commoner. Written under the pseudonym The Author, the book was one of four works authored by Hussein.

Baron Cohen’s film adaptation, The Dictator, will tell “the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed,” according to a release from the production company.

Oh this could be great. I can’t wait for it.
