It has been reported that 'Borat' star Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast in the new Steven Spielberg film 'The Trial of the Chicago 7'.
The Sunday Times reports that Baron Cohen will play 1960s counterculture icon Abbie Hoffman in the film, which follows the anti-Vietnam War protesters who disrupted the 1968 Democrat party convention in the US.
Baron Cohen will next be seen on Irish cinema screens opposite Johnny Depp in the Tim Burton-directed 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street'.
It opens in Irish cinemas on Friday 25 January.
