Sacha Baron Cohen Cast as Abbie Hoffman

Well, I hate to say it, but whatever the hell Jim Carrey is doing, he's losing ground to Sacha Baron Cohen. Oh, he's got four movies slated for 2008 that's where he's at. Thank God. Anyways, the skinny is that Spielberg is doing a film about the Chicago Seven (a political group from the 60's, go read a book, or wiki it). It'll be a while, considering Spielberg's got 4 movies to get through before he does this one. Lastly, I don't think Borat is dead. Cohen said he's not doing the it any more. Well, Here's what I think: Either the film company said, "You've almost cost us our sweet, delicious profit from all the lawsuits, Borat is dead." or He's priming us for the post-Bruno attack of our favorite Kazak son. Only time will tell.
