It's probably the most highly-anticipated comedy of 2012, and excitement levels are likely to swell still further with news that the opening scenes from The Dictator have emerged online.

Starring the inimitable Sacha Baron Cohen, the movie tells the heroic story of a North African dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.
