Sacha Baron Cohen, the man who bought us Borat and Ali G, is set to play Sherlock Holmes in a spoof movie based on the legendary super sleuth.
The film, co-produced by Jimmy Miller and Judd Apatow, the director and co-writer of "The 40 Year Old Virgin", will see Cohen star alongside "Semi-Pro's" Will Ferrell, who will play Holmes' sidekick, Doctor Watson.
"Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and Watson makes us laugh," said Columbia Pictures co-president Matt Tolmach in a recent interview with "Variety".
"Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the planet and having them take on these two iconic characters is, frankly, hilarious."
