Sacha Baron Cohen Joins Spielbergs 'Seven'

The Trial of the Chicago Seven
Could "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" be Steven Spielberg's next picture?

Spielberg has been developing the DreamWorks project, about anti-Vietnam War activists arrested at the 1968 Democratic Convention, for some time. Now it looks as if he has found his hippie ringleader.

British thesp Sacha Baron Cohen, who just came off a role in DreamWorks' "Sweeney Todd," has been attached to play Abbie Hoffman in the pic, according to a report in London's Sunday Times.
