Larry Charles Takes on God, Tommy Lee



Rotten Tomatoes has a new interview with Borat director Larry Charles, where he talks about the film's Oscar chances and the lawsuit parade. More importantly, he talks about his upcoming projects, including the first announcement of a new Bill Maher documentary that he describes as a "non-fiction comedy about religion," which will feature interviews with people of all beliefs from all corners of the world.

He also spills some more details about The Dirt, based on the revealing autobiography of Motley Crue. Charles just handed in a draft of the script, and explains that the band is in no way involved, and all of their parts are yet to be cast. He doesn't confirm the rumors started by Crue frontman Vince Neil, that Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer will appear as Ozzy Osbourne and David Lee Roth, respectively.

In other Charles-related news, Curb Your Enthusiasm is expected to start its sixth season this fall, with Vivica A. Fox signed on to play a recurring character who moves in to Larry David's guest room. Charles serves as an executive producer and frequent director on Curb.
