Forget ET, Spielberg's got Ali G ALI G has landed a deal to star in a STEVEN SPIELBERG movie — as several complete idiots. The comedy Dinner For Schmucks tells the story of a man who asks his friends to bring the most stupid people they can find to dinner. Like MIKE MYERS in Austin Powers, the funnyman — real name Sacha Baron Cohen — will play a variety of characters, including the unluckiest and clumsiest man in the world. Sacha was signed up when ET director Spielberg was in London this week. An insider said: “Spielberg wants the movie to be a huge comedy like There’s Something About Mary. “He decided to sign Ali G up after watching him play characters like Borat and Bruno on his TV show.”<br> Dinner For Schmucks is a remake of classic French film Le Diner De Cons and will start shooting in the US later this year for a 2004 release. A springboard to Hollywood was what Sacha hoped for when his TV series Ali G In Da USA became a cult hit. And he chose as his Tinseltown agent Jimmy Miller, who launched JIM CARREY’s career. Spielberg is said to rate Sacha as a massive comedy talent with great timing. He could now make it big where other Brit stars such as MEL B and GERI HALLIWELL have struggled.
