According to Deadwire.com, Michael is in talks to star in a political action thriller for legendary director Oliver Stone called "The Devil's Double". The story, which is adapted from a best selling novel, is about a former Iraqi soldier named Latif Yahia (who wrote the novel) who due to his uncanny resemblance to Uday Hussein (son of Saddam) was forced to become his body double during a time when many assassins were trying to have Uday killed. Michael is supposed to play both Uday and Latif. If you google pictures of them it becomes clear Michael will have to tan, gain weight, change his eye color, and grow a very thick mustache in order to come close to resembling these guys, but if anyone can do it, it's him. It should be cool to see Michael playing two different characters in the same film. The article also states Stone wants to fine tune the script over the next year and then begin filming sometime in 2012 for a 2013 release.
