But as I wrote, he has a bunch of projects in line before this was to be filmed. So Cohen's casting is a bit odd.

It's not under his name on IMDB, is it a sure thing he's directing? Hoffman was quite a character, but I'd rather see an objectively scripted prestige picture made about the life of Timothy Leary.

Maybe Steven Spielberg made that a prerequisite before staring in this film. We'll see if he has the acting chops beyond skit comedy and Talladega Nights. I'm actually looking forward to seeing if he can pull it off. No wonder why he recently retired his Ali G and Borat characters.
