Bruno Gets A Release Date

By Doug - June 18, 2008 - 12:51 America/Montreal

Bruno
We are given the release date of the upcoming Bruno film today thanks to the fabled caves of Yahoo:

“Bruno,” Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to “Borat,” has been scheduled by Universal Pictures for a May 15, 2009, release. Like the title character in the hit “Borat,” “Bruno” is based on a skit character — this time an Austrian faux fashionista — from Cohen’s former HBO series, “Da Ali G Show.”

I am looking forward to the new Bruno movie. I am particularly interested in the showdown between Bruno and Arnold Schwarzzenegger. We saw a picture about a month ago that showed the two gentlemen facing off, and it immediately hooked my interest.

Make sure to mark May 15th on your calendars kids, it will be a day to celebrate.

    I somehow still can’t actually believe that Cohen will be able to pull the exact same thing off one more time.
    I loved BORAT as much as the next guy, in my opinion that film set standards in the genre of comedy, but I sort of wish he would have left it at that and did something completely different.
    Will this be funny? I’m absolutely sure it will.
    Will it be a milestone like BORAT? Nope.

    I agree that Borat was a milestone. The Ali G film was painful at times; I think this film will fall between the previous 2.

    I don’t think is going to work because people know Sacha Baron Cohen is and I am sure after the hit that was Borat. People want out got his HBO and BBC TV show or just look stuff on youtuble. I know I can’t wait for this film but I don’t think is going to have the same magic as Borat did. I have been a fan of Sacha since his days back on the BBC.

    I would love to see Bruno give a big kiss to his country man. Mr Schwarzzenegger that would just be so fantasticsssssssssssss

    Looking forwards to inevitble laughs and attempted lawsuits. I still think he can pull this off – Sacha Baron Cohen is quite versitile, and there are plenty of people in the States who haven’t got the foggiest who this guy is, despite the Borat fiasco. I think this will entertain on many levels…not to the same extent as Borat, but entertain it will nevertheless…

    AHHHHH!!!! [Blasts out curses] I hate Cohen! He was good in Sweeney Todd, but Borat was STUPID. Cohen is STUPID.
