The Dictator's teaser has managed everyone to sit up and take notice. Sacha Baron Cohen has known to be the ridiculous talent behind equally outrageous offerings like Borat and Bruno. Now Cohen is ready to test the international waters by playing The Dictator.

Directed by long time associate Larry Charles, the movie is said to be loosely based on Saddam's (or is it Gaddafi's ? ) life and it also draws in inspiration from a novel which is supposed to have been written by Saddam himself, titled Zabibah and the King.

Paramount has pitched this for a summer release, which means it better have the ammo to take on bigger summer threats around.
