As we’ve talked about here on The Movie Blog before, there is indeed a Borat movie heading our way. And from the looks of it, it’s already a LOT further along than most of us thought it was.
According to the good folks over at AICN, there has already even been a screening of Borat (ultra popular character from The Ali G Show) and the review of the screening sounds hilarious. Here’s what they had to say:
Well, I can assure you now that this movie is real. And will become a thing of legend.
While this wasn’t the funniest movie I’ve ever seen, it was definitely, hands down, the hardest I’ve ever laughed in a theater, if that makes any sense. I honestly can’t remember being with an audience who CONSTANTLY laughed – that hard – throughout the entirety of a movie.
Hmmm… encouraging words! From what I can tell there is still no set release date for Borat The Movie except that it will indeed be this year (2006). Other than that we’ll just have to sit and wait for the news.
I’m guessing they’re trying to see if the advanced screenings are strong enough to justify a summer release. Now that would be something.
