SACHA BARON COHEN TO STAR IN A POSSIBLE SPIELBERG FILM!!!
Mister Steven Speilberg has been busy developing the film "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" for DreamWorks. The movie is about anti-Vietnam War activists arrested at the 1968 Democratic Convention.
The BIG questions -- will this be Spielberg's next film, and did he find his activist star?
Well, according to London's Sunday Times, Sacha Baron Cohen is attached to play Abbie Hoffman.
But according to Variety, a rep for Spielberg would neither confirm nor deny the report.
Hhhhmmmmmmmm....
Let's see how busy Mister Steven is going to be:
***he's planning on directing a film about Abraham Lincoln (Tony Kushner wrote the script, and Liam Neeson is set to star -- INTRIGUING!!!)
***he's also partnering with Peter Jackson to direct one of the 3D toons in the "Tintin" trilogy.
***he's, of course, busy doing post-production for a little film called "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."
But "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" sounds like a timely film with our current political climate, so perhaps, Mister Steven should opt to do this first!
Regardless, all of the above mentioned projects sound exciting, and I can't wait!
