Nicolas Cage will play an ordinary American who sets out to hunt down Osama Bin Laden in director Larry Charles’s satirical comedy Army of One, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Based loosely on the story of Gary Faulkner, a Colorado construction worker with health problems who tried to make his way into Pakistan and Afghanistan on several occasions in search of the al-Qaida leader, the film will be Charles’s followup to Sacha Baron Cohen comedies Borat, Bruno and The Dictator.
