Borat making a movie about personal injury attorneys
Hat tip to Above the Law. All I can say is I can't wait. That and I volunteer to be a consultant to the film. :)
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Sacha Baron Cohen, better known as "Borat," has sold Fox film studios a comedy, "Accidentes," about an ambulance-chaser-turned-hero, which he will produce and possibly star in, Variety magazine said Tuesday.
The film is about a personal injury lawyer who becomes a hero among Los Angeles Hispanics for successfully defending a worker against a wealthy employer, but who in the process becomes the enemy of the city's elite.
Cohen, 36, last appeared on the big screen alongside Johnny Depp in "Sweeney Todd."
He became a household name as the hillarious journalist in "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," which earned him the 2007 Golden Globe's best actor award.
