Sacha Baron Cohen has made a career out of lampooning the ignorant and stupid, doing so with hilarious results in both BORAT and BRUNO.
Now Cohen is set to take on facsist dictators in, er… THE DICTATOR. Although little is known as of yet, what we do know is that Cohen’s character rules a nation called Wadiya, and that he leads a mission to stamp out demovcracy for good. The film is allegedly inspired by Saddam Hussain’s book ‘Zabibah and the King’.
Check out this new teaser poster below.
THE DICTATOR is directed by Larry Chalres, and co-stars Anna Faris and Ben Kingsley. It arrives in cinemas May 2012.
