‘Borat’ Star Sacha Baron Cohen To Play Saddam Hussein In ‘The Dictator’

The Movie God   |  @   |  

It’s being reported that Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing quite the interesting role in an upcoming movie: infamous Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

The movie, which is fittingly titled The Dictator, is based on a book called Zabibah and the King. The book is a romance novel (sorta), which is said to have been written (or ghostwritten) by Hussein, painting himself as a hero to a woman (the people of Iraq), who’s married to an evil man (that’d be us) that abuses and rapes her.

In a press release by Paramount Pictures, they describe the movie as telling the “…heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.”

The Dictator is set to be directed by Larry Charles, who has previously directed Baron Cohen in both Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and Brüno.

Currently, the movie is planned for release at some point in May of 2012.
