He chased after it for years, now Louis Letterier will direct Sacha Baron Cohen in his new spy comedy Grimsby, which will be released by Paramount. The screenplay was written by Baron Cohen and Phil Johnston.
Louis Leterrier directed the film Now You See Me. Sacha Baron Cohen has been all over the place since Borat, even as a semi-mechanical man in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. Cohen was set to play Freddy Mercury in a biopic of the glam-rock singer, but he pulled out and has since come in from the cold.
Grimbsby is the story of a British black operations agent who is on the lam with his soccer hooligan brother. With Leterrier at the helm it will prove to be an action-packed movie. Leterrier has been chasing this movie since he wrapped Now You See Me. A sequel to Now You See Me is also reportedly in the works
