The always popular RED BAND trailer (or naughty little trailer, as no one at all likes to call it) for Sacha Baron Cohen‘s latest comedy, The Dictator, has found its way online.

As you’ll recall the movie began as what sounded like Baron Cohen playing Saddam Hussein, but has evolved into the actor playing a fictional dictator (parodying all of the overly eccentric nutjob tyrants we’ve seen over the years) who finds himself stuck in America trying to adjust to the culture change.

You can check out the red band trailer for The Dictator below. And, although this one is tame compare to other restricted trailers we’ve seen, it should still be considered NSFW.

Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming “southern” Django Unchained won’t be hitting theaters until Christmas, but in the meantime the Weinstein Company and Columbia Pictures have released the film’s first poster.

No cruddy Photoshop hack work here folks, this is the real deal. Tarantino has spoken many times in the past about his unabashed love for Italian spaghetti westerns and how they have influenced his own style of filmmaking. Several of his recent films, including Kill Bill V.2 and Inglourious Basterds, have worn that influence with pride. Tarantino has even used music score cues composed for the best Italian westerns by the great Ennio Morricone on the soundtracks of some of his past features. Thus, it’s very fitting that the poster for Django Unchained would recall the minimalist movie poster style of the 1960’s when directors like Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci, and Enzo G. Castellari were revered as cinematic gods to western fans and young movie geeks like Tarantino who were just itching for the sweaty, bloody thrills they a spaghetti western could deliver without fail.

When Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen shows up somewhere in character, it’s guaranteed that he’ll pull a stunt. And that’s exactly what the actor did when he walked the Red Carpet at last night’s 84th Annual Academy Awards and then “spilled” the supposed ashes of Kim Jong Il onto interviewer Ryan Seacrest.

You can watch the entire escapade in the video here below.

Cohen arrived to the Oscars dressed as Admiral General Aladeen, his character from the upcoming film The Dictator, carrying an urn he said was filled with the ashes of late North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il and flanked by his two female personal security officers. He made his way down the Red Carpet to Ryan Seacrest, who was covering the Red Carpet arrives for E!

Special effects make-up wizard Greg Nicotero (the “N” in KNB EFX) has become a close collaborator of writer-director Quentin Tarantino after working his FX magic on many of the iconoclastic filmmaker’s best known works including Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Inglourious Basterds.

Nicotero spoke with MTV about working with Tarantino on the director’s latest film, Django Unchained, recently during a Television Critics Association event for AMC’s The Walking Dead, on which he serves as effects supervisor and co-executive producer. You can watch a video of Nicotero’s comments here below.

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.
