Heat factor: Anna will once again have you guffawing in What’s Your Number?

Anna Faris is in talks for the female lead in Sacha Baron Cohen’s new comedy The Dictator for Paramount Pictures. Last week we reported that Anna Faris, Kristen Wiig, and Gillian Jacobs were the front runners for the female lead, which has now been offered to Anna Faris.

The story centers around Sacha Baron Cohen’s character, a dictator who travels to America for a meeting at the United Nations. However, he discovers his second in command has replaced the dictator with a look-alike sheepherder. Anna Faris will play an organic food store owner who meets the dictator and gives him a fresh outlook on life, and perhaps a bit of romance as well. Here’s the official logline which was released by Paramount recently.

“The film tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It is inspired by the best selling novel, Zabibah and The King, by Saddam Hussein.”

Larry Charles is directing The Dictator from a script by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, David Mandel, and Dan Mazer. Production is scheduled to begin in May, with shooting to take place in New York City and Monaco.

The Dictator comes to theaters May 11th, 2012 and stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Jason Mantzoukas, Anna Faris. The film is directed by Larry Charles.

Casting for the next Sacha Baron Cohen film The Dictator is heating up, with producers looking to fill the part of the female lead. Kristen Wiig, Anna Faris and Gillian Jacobs (Community) are among the front-runners to play opposite Baron Cohen in the Borat-esque comedy. Larry Charles, who also helmed Borat and Bruno, is directing the film which tells the “heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed,” with Cohen playing a dictator who gets lost in the US.

THR reports that Jason Mantzoukas (The League) is already attached to play Cohen’s sidekick in the film. Producers are looking for actors with very strong improvisational skills, and understandably so given the unscripted nature of Borat and Bruno. The report stresses that Cohen and Co. are still looking to fill the female lead role, and it could very well end up going to someone other than Wiig, Faris or Jacobs. Filming is set to begin in May in New York and Morocco for a May 11th, 2012 release date.
