In Ladies First, Oscar nominee Sacha Baron Cohen faces off with fellow Oscar nominee Rosamund Pike as a ladies man who finds himself in a very unfamiliar landscape — an alternate reality where women hold all the power. 

The new film will be directed by Thea Sharrock (The Beautiful Game, Wicked Little Letters, Me Before You) with a screenplay by Natalie Krinsky (The Broken Hearts Gallery), Cinco Paul (Despicable Me) and Katie Silberman (Set It Up). Krinsky and Nicky Kentish Barnes are executive producers on the film, with Liza Chasin, Eleonore Dailly, and Edouard de Lachomette producing.

What happens in Ladies First? 

High-powered exec Damien Sachs (Baron Cohen) has it all — money, power, and a never-ending stream of casual flings — and he’s not afraid to rub it in everyone’s faces. But as he prepares to take over as CEO at a ritzy ad agency, his life is suddenly turned upside-down when he wakes up in his personal worst nightmare: a parallel world dominated by women. He now finds himself going head-to-head with the fierce and fearless Alex Fox (Pike), who’d been one of his underappreciated employees in the dimension he unwittingly left behind. With the rules of engagement changed and Alex at the top of her game, the two battle it out for the top job. Finally, Damien sees what life is like when the script is flipped.
