Sacha Baron Cohen is set to star in
Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill, according to Variety.
The fact-based story of a Hasidic Jew and a grizzled rock musician who form a band.
Plan is for Cohen to play Curly Oxide, the rock moniker adopted by a young Hasidic Jew who wandered into the Brooklyn bar where a drunken Vic Thrill played his raucous rock. The duo headed to Thrill's recording studio and began laying down tracks that mixed their musical styles with playful lyrics.
