Posted In: aka Finchley Dreams Posted In: British comic actor plays a Middle Eastern dictator in the film The Dictator
The new Sacha Baron Cohen film, ‘The Dictator, aka ‘Finchley Dreams’, moves to location shooting in Sevilla at the end of this month, which according to Paramount Pictures, will, ‘tell the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.’
The British comic actor plays two roles in the film: the dictator, and the look-alike goat herder who secretly replaces him, forcing the man whose place he usurped to start a new life in New York City.
Most of the scenes are shot in New York, but Diario de Sevilla reports that the capital of Andalucía and the Canarias island of Fuerteventura have been chosen to represent the backdrop of an Arab country.
The film is directed by Larry Charles, who also directed ‘Borat’ and ‘Bruno’, and is due for release in May next year
