Sacha Baron Cohen To Play Grimsby Football Hooligan In Next Film

Sacha Baron Cohen has made a few enemies over the years, notably Kazakhstan and US feminist Naomi Wolf. The town of Grimsby has now been added to that august list.

In his latest film, 'Grimbsy' (to be released in July 2015 according to IMDB) the local residents have been presented in a not too flattering light with the Guardian describing its depiction as "litter strewn, dilapidated and full of beer-swilling children".

It's hard to imagine how anyone can get bent out of shape over any stunt Baron Cohen plays, least of all an entire town...

The rather tenuous story line sees a Black-Ops spy go on the run with his football loving hooligan brother, played by one Sacha Baron Cohen. It is also set in the 80's... My guess is it will be less Green Street & more She's the Man.
