Sacha + Curb = hit?

Comedy stars tout new idea

Sacha Baron Cohen has reportedly teamed up with the writers of Curb Your Enthusiasm to pitch a new comedy idea.

Details are sketchy, but the team has been touting the project around studio bigwigs this week, according to Deadline New York.

The writers are Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel, who worked on Seinfeld and are now the executive producers of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Schaffer previously worked with Baron Cohen as one of the writers on the Bruno movie – so the project is likely to be hot property in Hollywood.

Earlier this week, Baron Cohen was named as a possible star of a remake of The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty.
