The film, officially titled Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, was filmed, like the first film, in complete secrecy with Baron Cohen fully immersed in the character. 

But Baron Cohen broke tradition by revealing his identity to late Holocaust survivor Judith Dim Evans, who appears in the film. The film is reportedly also dedicated to Dim Evans.

Per Deadline, “Out of respect, [Cohen] had someone tell Evans and [her] friend who shares the scene with her that Baron Cohen was himself Jewish and playing an ignorant character as a means of Holocaust education.” 

Apparently, being in character was in general really hard for Baron Cohen.  “The hardest thing I had to do was, I lived in character for five days in this lockdown house. I was waking up, having breakfast, lunch, dinner, going to sleep as Borat when I lived in a house with these two conspiracy theorists. You can’t have a moment out of character,” he shared with The New York Times.

Borat 2 will begin streaming October 23 on Amazon Prime.

According to Collider, the movie was already screened for a few industry executives and it may be released later this year.

In the first movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, the journalist traveled to the U.S. in order to make a documentary. Now, he is made aware of his garnered infamy from the first movie and goes “undercover”. It is described as “Cohen playing Borat playing Cohen”.

It may be surprising to see a second Borat movie as most of the first one’s humor hangs on the character not being recognized. This undercover strategy may be the way the comedian uses to solve this problem.

The last time Cohen appeared as Borat was in November 2019 on a sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live! About election tampering.

The first trailer for the highly-anticipated limited series from Homeland’s Gideon Raff is finally here and it shows Cohen in a whole different (and serious) light. 

Cohen has put aside comedy for Netflix’s spy thriller The Spy. Set in the 1960s the series tells the true story of Eli Cohen, Israeli clerk turned secret agent who goes undercover deep inside Syria. 

Cohen’s character is described by the streaming service as “a man who wants nothing more than to be of service to his country, but he does his job so well that he finds it hard to strip off his double identity.” 

Also starring are Noah Emmerich as Eli’s handler, Hadar Ratzon Rotem as Eli’s wife, Nadia, and Waleed Zuaiter. 

Watch the trailer below.

The veteran screenwriter who created The West Wing and The Newsroom delved into directing last year when he brought the true story of Olympic skier turned poker game madam, Molly Bloom, to life in Molly’s Game.

He is now set to try his hand at another film based on a trial.

Despite penning the script for Chicago 7, the film was originally set to be directed by Steven Spielberg. A writers strike delayed production, with the Ready Player One filmmaker moving on when a new date could not be settled. Paul Greengrass of The Bourne Supremacy was then attached, but budget disagreements meant he, too, left the project.

Sorkin has now signed on to direct the film he wrote which is based on the infamous 1969 trial of 7 defendants who were charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the counter-cultural protests in Chicago at the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

This is America star, Sacha Baron Cohen, is in early discussions to join the cast.

On the 4th of July, comedian, Sacha Baron Cohen, released a video on Twitter which appeared to tease the Brit’s next project.

The clip featured US President Donald Trump (with whom Sacha has a feud going back to the early 2000s when Trump walked out of an interview with his character Ali G) declaring, “Sacha Baron Cohen, go to school! Learn about being funny!”

The text then appears stating: “Sacha graduates. Soon.”

We now know exactly when and where that graduation ceremony is taking place.

Showtime has confirmed that it will be broadcasting a 7-episode series in which the 46-year-old “will explore the diverse individuals, from the infamous to the unknown across the political and cultural spectrum, who populate our unique nation.”

It appears as though Sacha has been secretly filming the show, entitled Who is America for a year, and former US Vice President, Dick Cheney, even makes an appearance…

Who is America premieres on July 15th.
