Saddam Hussein's son needs to have a double like his father, so he finds a young man who looks quite a bit like him and brings him into the fold, forcing him to live the life of a dictator's son.
I think what attracts me most to this poster is just how original it is. I'm sure I've seen similarly designed posters, but none immediately leap to mind and this one just sparkles.
How political the film becomes depends too much on what's not on the screen in this trailer. The film looks like it could be grand fun and stands to be one of the more original productions this year.
I doubt the Academy will take a July release that seriously and I haven't heard much talk about the film up to this point, so it may just be ignored.
I have not seen this film.
