I would absolutely be down for this. Cohen's a genius, and his take on playing a deposed dictator could pack real bite, so count me in. America has a complex relationship with dictatorships, so I can think of no better place for Cohen to explore the subject. Just last summer there was relative of the Shah of Iran who got married in my home town and there was all sorts of crazy security and out door tent activity. Yet when it comes to Saddam, our nation seemingly couldn't tolerate his brand of totalitarianism. Can't wait to see how SBC tackles this hypocrisy

I loved Borat and there's plenty to like in Bruno as well, but I'd like to see Cohen try something a little different this time around
He already did RELIGULOUS with Bill Maher, which was very much a different kind of film for him

EDIT: Nevermind! I had a mental snafu and thought that you were talking about Charles. Sorry, not wearing my glasses

Is this going to be in the same style as Borat and Bruno, or is it going to be more traditional narrative? Or is that not really established yet?

I can already picture Cohen mopping the floor at some bumfuck diner. I'm happy for him and his Queen project, but much more excited about this because SBC + Larry Charles is a guaranteed winning combo for me.

Assuming the usual Cohen trickery will be involved, I can't wait to see what kind of disguise he'll come up with to avoid being rumbled as "that Borat guy". I think it's going to be tough devising a new character who is believable enough yet absurd enough, but on top of that sufficiently different from the classic characters.
