‘Borat’ and ‘Bruno’ Star Sacha Baron Cohen Gets Two New Films
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.
