‘Borat’ Star Sacha Baron Cohen Channels Saddam Hussein In ‘The Dictator’ Trailer
  |  @   |  

When we first heard about Borat and Bruno star Sacha Baron Cohen‘s upcoming project, The Dictator, it sounded like he would actually be playing infamous tyrant Saddam Hussein.

We now know that Cohen is actually just parodying Middle Eastern dictators in general—perhaps even more Muammar Gaddafi than Saddam—but you can see the inspirations shining through. The movie is said to be based on a book written by Hussein titled Zabibah and the King, and promises to 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.”

Now the first trailer for The Dictator has been released online, and you can check it out below now.
