Baron Cohen's next movie

Sacha Baron Cohen is set to play an outrageous Eurovision singer for his next movie.

He had originally planned a plot in which he entered the contest for Austria in his Bruno alter-ego. But since he has decided to put the camp creation to rest, he is now dreaming up a new character for the mockumentary.

Baron Cohen has begun working on the script with his long-term writing partner Dan Mazer, and the film is set to be made released in 2010 by Working Title.

The Sun quotes an unnamed source saying: ‘He and Dan thought it better to dream up another character - and the scope for an oddball creation is huge.’
