Director for Sacha Baron Cohen film
Sacha Baron Cohen’s football hooligan comedy – to be called Grimsby – has signed a director.
Louis Leterrier, who helmed this year's caper thriller Now You See Me, had been lobbying to join the film, according to Hollywood bible Variety, and has now landed the job.
The plot of Grismsby follows a British black ops agent who is forced to go on the run with his long-lost hooligan brother.
The Borat and Ali G creator was spotted in the town of Grimsby in October, watching a football match and checking out the fish market and the local pubs in research for his next role.
