Sacha Baron Cohen will be seen in a new film from the Paramount Pictures which is loosely based on the novel “Zabibah and the King” written by Saddam Hussein. The latest film is entitled “The Dictator” and will be released on May 11 in theatres.

The movie is about a story of a dictator who put his life at risk so that democracy will never be seen in the country he oppressed. Sacha had also produced the film along with Scott Rudin, Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel. The film will also star Ben Kingsley and Anna Faria along with Adeel Akhtar. Megan Fox will also appear as herself in the film.

There are many more films to come out on Saddam Hussein just as the character of Hitler has been seen on screen so many times and often in a sarcastic and comedic way. Rarely such negative people in history get a serious portrayal. It seems like a revenge on them to make fun of them in movies and videos. May be because these characters are nothing more than bad jokes of history itself on societies they had their wrath upon.
