Sacha Baron Cohen has two brand new projects to dig his creative hands into. And at least one of them is a regular scripted comedy.

First up is “Accidentes” for UniversalPictures. Cohen will star as a personal injury lawyer who becomes a blue-collar hero when he helps an immigrant win a case against his employer after an on-the-job accident. Peter Baynham penned the script.

The second untitled film is being kept top secret but Cohen and all of his Borat/Bruno writers are involved in the project whose pitch alone started a massive bidding war that Sony Pictures eventually won.

Accidentes sounds like it’ll be pretty funny, it’s going to be so different seeing him work directly with a script. I’m sure the next project will be another ‘mockumentary’ style flick, but I wonder what kind of character he could concoct that wouldn’t be recognizable after the last two films.
