The company that did ‘American Idol’ is ready to start shooting a Adolf Hitler farce. The black comedy called “Mein Kampf” is set in a Vienna hostel before World War One and starts shooting there as well this week — Vienna that is, not World War One. The story is about Hitler getting friendly with an elderly Jew who gives him his hairdo and famous mustache.

Is anybody into this? The idea doesn’t sound fun to me. Or is anybody expecting ‘The Great Dictator’ part 2?

The movie is planned to be released in Germany next year.
