Remember those Frat boys in the motor home in the Borat movie who have sued Borat and the Studio and were also seeking a court injunction stopping the release of the Borat DVD and that the scene with them in it be deleted out of the movie. Well…. the judge hearing the injunction request just handed down his decision… and he said “NO”.
So what this means is that the Borat DVD will not be stopped from getting released, and that the scene with the frat boys will not be edited out of the film. However, the lawsuit is still pending… so they’re still suing them for cash. I have a feeling they won’t be settling this out of court. Why?
Because if the studio settles, then they’re setting a precedent. Fox still plans on making more films with Bruno and Borat, and if they just allow people to sue then and settle with them out of court… then everyone who ends up in one of the movies will sue them too. No, Fox has to fight this thing all the way in court. They’re in a situation where they can’t just settle it and make it go away quietly. They have to win this thing to set the precedent and deter any future people from coming after them.
It’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds.
