The first trailer has been released for forthcoming comedy Army of One, the new religious satire from Borat and Religulous director Larry Charles.

Adapted from a GQ article about an unemployed construction worker Gary Faulkner who – equipped with a sword he’d bought on a home shopping TV channel – travelled repeatedly to Pakistan to try to kill Osama bin Laden. Faulkner fancied himself instructed to do so by God.

In the film, Russell Brand plays the Almighty, while Nicolas Cage is Faulkner. Wendi McLendon-Covey and Rainn Wilson co-star.

Army of One will be available online from 4 November.
