Trailer 2: ‘The Dictator’

Movies, Video, ,

Here’s a new trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest Larry Charles-directed (Borat, Brüno) flick, The Dictator. Unlike the premiere trailer, this one peels the wraps off the movie’s actual plot. We know that Cohen is General Admiral Alladeen, the tyrannical dictator of the fictitious Republic Of Wadiya. But what you might not have been aware of, the movie will follow the dictator in America stripped of his beard and identity. In New York City he meets Anna Faris and she gives him an opportunity for a fresh start. Try not to laugh.

The Dictator releases May 11.

This past week was packed to the brim with new movie trailers. Following The Three Stooges and Men in Black III is Rock of Ages, The Dictator, Jack the Giant Killer, and another look at the stop motion animation ParaNorman.

We start with Rock of Ages, a film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical. This movie has two things going for it: a fantastic collection of classic rock songs and a killer cast. It features music from Def Leppard, Foreigner, Journey, Poison, and Twisted Sister, and the talented cast is comprised of Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Malin Ackerman, Mary J. Blige, Alec Baldwin, and Tom Cruise as the rocker women pine over, Stacee Jaxx. Directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray), Rock of Ages brings “the music of a generation” to theatres on June 1, 2012.
