Sacha Baron Cohen Plans Paramount Bond Parody
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=93317
Sacha Baron Cohen, who worked with the studio earlier this year in The Dictator, has sold a comedy pitch to Paramount Pictures that parodies the "James Bond" franchise. Variety has the news, saying that the pitch arrives from both Cohen and Phil Johnston (Cedar Rapids, Wreck-It Ralph).
Still without a title, the plot follows a secret agent who learns that he has a long-lost brother, a dimwitted soccer fan, with whom he must team up.
There's no guarantee that Cohen is planning to star, but it's very likely that he'll take on one (or both) role(s).

Why not come up with another good idea instead of yet another Bond parody.
Great Britain i guess.
I'm betting that the Bond parody character will be a posh British stereotype, and his football (not soccer) loving brother will be a cockney british stereotype.
MOD EDIT: for profanity.
My bet is it won't be.
I mostly watch Sacha Baron Cohen on dvd, so soon or later I will see that 007 spoof as well.
The Dictator was a poor film IMO, Bruno was even worse. I don't like the prospect of this.
Jean Dujardin is a bloody genius
But OSS 117 is the codename for Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, a fictional secret agent initially from the pen of the prolific Jean Bruce. Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath is described as being an American Colonel from Louisiana of French descent. After service in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), de La Bath worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), then the National Security Council (NSC).
Bruce wrote 88 OSS 117 novels for the French publishing house Fleuve Noir Espionnage series beginning with Tu parles d'une ingénue (Ici OSS 117) in 1949, predating Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 by four years. After Jean Bruce died in a car accident in 1963, his wife Josette Bruce (signing as "J.Bruce") wrote 143 OSS 117 novels before retiring in 1985. Starting in 1987, Bruce's daughter Martine and her husband François wrote 23 more OSS 117 books. The last published novel was O.S.S. 117 prend le large in 1992
The first OSS 117 film, OSS 117 n'est pas mort (OSS 117 Is Not Dead), was made in 1957 with Ivan Desny as OSS 117.
More like a predessesor of the famous 007. But I easily admit that with the recent two OSS117 movies they did aim to catch the mood of the Connery 007 movies and did so extremely well. But calling them a spoof??
This is the biggest laugh I've ever gotten out of his work, and it wasn't even because of him:
Ok fine, I just watched that clip and giggled like I did in the cinema. Does that mean I'm a bad person? :p
It makes me laugh too everytime I see this bit. I join you in the in the bad person gallery. O:-)
