Borat isn’t the end
Apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor that plays Borat, wants to keep making movies. He has already made two with his two most famous characters, Ali G and Borat, and will now move onto his third alter ego, Bruno. However, the announcement to play Bruno triggered an intense bidding war in Hollywood on Thursday. By the end of the day, Universal was at the top of the list offering more than $42 million for worldwide rights to the film.
Who is Bruno you might ask? Good question.
Hollywood Reporter states:
In “Bruno,” he will call upon another of his alter egos, a gay fashionista from Austria. Bruno fancies himself as “the voice of Austrian youth TV.” In his appearances on Baron Cohen’s “Da Ali G Show,” the character sashayed from New York Fashion Week to Miami nightclubs.
I haven’t even seen “Borat” yet, but if Sacha is anything like he was in his TV show, which I’m sure he will be, then the movie will be outrageously hilarious.
Here’s to you Sacha Baron Cohen. You truly are a genius. Me like.
I think it’s hilarious that distributors are going nuts over a movie yet they don’t even know if this one is going to make cash!
Well, if it’s as funny as everyone is saying, there’s no reason for them not to grab the rights to the next film.
I have heard that all of the advance reviews have been pretty amazing and that the flick has been doing well at festivals.
Also, Bruno is hilarious.
