Sacha Baron Cohen to star in fact-inspired “Lesbian” comedy?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Sacha Baron Cohen and his Four By Two Films will develop a feature for Paramount Pictures inspired by Cecil Chao, the Hong Kong billionaire who offered $65 million to any man who succeeded in marrying his lesbian daughter, Deadline said.

Chao’s offer made international headlines last week following reports that his daughter had a French church bless her relationship with her longtime girlfriend.

The film’s tentatively titled The Lesbian, and is a potential starring vehicle for Baron Cohen, who presumably would play the billionaire.

He’ll produce through his Four By Two Films banner. A writer has not been attached. Baron Cohen’s last film, The Dictator, grossed $175 million worldwide for Paramount.
