Megan Fox Finds a New Dictator in Sacha Baron Cohen's Comedy

Following reports that Steven Spielberg demanded Megan Fox be fired from the Transformers franchise for comparing Michael Bay to Hitler, the actress has been cast in Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy, fittingly titled The Dictator.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Fox and John C. Reilly will be making cameos in The Dictator, a comedy from Larry Charles. The film tells "the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed."

Both Fox and Reilly's roles are being kept under wraps by Paramount for now. The film, which also stars Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley and Jason Mantzoukas, is scheduled to hit theaters May 11, 2012.
