Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures will produce Klown alongside Cohen and Todd Schulman under Four By Two, as well as Scott Stuber.
It looks like Sacha Baron Cohen is doubling down on his brand of uniquely outrageous comedy as Screen Daily reports that the Borat and Bruno star will headline the Klown remake, based on the 2010 Danish film, which, in turn, was based on the same country’s long-running sitcom, “Klovn.”
Back in 2012 Danny McBride was set to remake Klown with Todd Phillips producing.
A Los Angeles-set Danish sequel titled Klown Forever released last year featured Cohen’s wife Isla Fisher.
