Annapurna has nabbed the English-language remake rights to R-rated Danish comedy “Klown” at AFM.
Sacha Baron Cohen is attached in the lead role.
The original film, from Mikkel Norgaard’s, follows a man who tries to prove his fatherhood potential to his pregnant girlfriend by ‘kidnapping’ her 12-year-old nephew and tags along to his best friend’s debauched weekend canoe trip.
Annapurna’s Megan Ellison will produce with Baron Cohen and Todd Schulman of Four By Two, and Scott Stuber.
