Spielberg to follow Indy with Borat as Abbie Hoffman in THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO SEVEN?
Hey folks, Harry here... Sacha Baron Cohen may be one of the most interesting comedic and emerging dramatic talents we have. He's sworn to never again become Borat or Ali G. He is apparently a method performer that so dissolves into his characters that he won't come out for months. Really living in their mindset and costumes. It's amazing.
Well it seems that Steven Spielberg has taken notice and cast Sacha as Abbie Hoffman in THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO SEVEN. Now Sacha is probably absolutely perfect casting... but what happened to our Liam Neeson LINCOLN film? Well... seems the times, they are a changing... either that or Stevie is just complicating his future - thus making us pay attention and wait to see who gets called to set - when he starts his post Jones adventure. Read more about the project and this announcement at Variety ! This would be a very interesting film for Spielberg and Cohen.
