Ali G himself Sacha Baron Cohen is set to star in "Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill," the fact-based story of a Hasidic Jew and a grizzled rock musician who form a band reports Variety.

"Mean Girls" scribe Tina Fey wrote the script in which Cohen will play Curly Oxide, the rock moniker adopted by a young Hasidic Jew who wandered into the Brooklyn bar where a drunken Vic Thrill played his raucous rock. The duo headed to Thrill's recording studio and began laying down tracks that mixed their musical styles with playful lyrics.

Cohen will next be seen alongside Will Ferrell in the Adam McKay-directed NASCAR comedy for Sony Pictures, and is set for "Dinner for Schmucks," a remake of French pic "Le Diner de cons".
