Sacha Baron Cohen will spoof a European pop star in his next movie.

The British comic will portray a singer who enters the Eurovision Song Contest – an annual singing competition previously won by ’70s Swedish pop-rock act ABBA. The still-untitled movie is expected to be another fake documentary, in the style of Cohen’s previous hit Bruno and Borat.

Cohen originally planned to resurrect the character from his current hit film Bruno – in which he plays a gay Austrian fashion god- but he and writing partner Dan Mazer decided against it after concluding that the Bruno character has become too recognizable.

“He and Dan thought it would be better if Sacha dreamt up another character, and the scope for another oddball creation is huge.”

The script is ready and the film is expected to be released in 2011.
