Sacha Baron Cohen Though he's currently terrorizing unsuspecting victims as flamboyantly flaming stylist Bruno, in-demand actor Sacha Baron Cohen is already looking to future projects where he's not humiliating poor schmucks in faux-documentaries. The first of these is apparently a remake of the Blake Edwards written and directed and Peter Sellers starring comedy THE PARTY. Cohen apparently met with Edwards at a recent screening of the film and they both sparked to the idea. In the 1968 original, Sellers starred as a bumbling Indian extra who mistakenly gets invited to an A-list Hollywood party and wreaks gut-bustingly hilarious havoc. Cohen would presumably play the Sellers part and bring an equal amount of uproarious hilarity to the role. Cohen can next be seen in Tim Burton's SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.

Extra Tidbit: Cohen gave 2004 Harvard class day address in character as Ali G.

I agree with hartman27, as much as I love the original and how much I hate remakes, this idea is awesome. Cohen would be perfect in the Sellers role.

Best Remake Idea Ever!
Not going to lie, I hate remakes but this one is gold...solid gold. Now, Edwards hated Sellers so I'm sure he is totally okay with Cohen to fill his shoes. It's just to bad that Sasha is too late to save The Pink Panther from Martin's dumbs hands.
