British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is continuing his Hollywood hot streak as he signs up to star in and produce two high-profile new films.

The actor, who had back-to-back hits with Borat and Bruno, has now set up his own production house and already created a bidding war with its first project.

The unnamed picture, written by the same team as his last two and set to star Cohen, landed his outfit Four by Two Films a seven-figure dollar deal after Columbia Pictures beat two other studios.

At the same time, the new company has also made a deal for Accidentes (OK), another Cohen vehicle.

The film will see the actor play a Latino ambulance-chasing personal injury attorney who becomes a hero of the Los Angeles working class after helping an immigrant win a judgment against a wealthy employer.
