Borat 2

10-09-2020 1:26pm #1

Apparently it has already been made (and screened)

https://collider.com/borat-2-sequel-sacha-baron-cohen/

SBC was spotted out filming in character

https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandheir/video/6862499242401975558?referer_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nme.com%2F&referer_video_id=6862499242401975558

obviously can't be the same as the first one as the character is too well-known to get away with that but could be interesting nonetheless

Could it be people jumping to conclusions he has been filming the second season of Who Is America? over the last 6 months. Borat could just be a segment of that

Based on the whole concert shabang that he did I was thinking it had to be Who Is America.

10-09-2020 1:36pm

maybe. there are a lot of reports about it tho

https://thefilmstage.com/sacha-baron-cohen-secretly-shot-a-sequel-to-borat/

we can also confirm a test screening took place last week. In a meta story, the film follows Borat as he’s now a famous figure and so to hide from the public, he pretends to be someone else. With the current meme-worthy title of Great Success, we’ve learned from sources that Trump and Epstein’s relationship, as well as the coronavirus, all figure into the main narrative with cameos from Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, and more best left unspoiled. We’ve also learned that one of the yet-to-be-revealed cameos could potentially derail a political career, and we imagine some backlash and lawsuits will follow.

Agent Coulson · 10-09-2020 1:57pm

As a different character I could well see it however Boart became so famous for making fools of them the first time round it's hard to see the amount of PR guys that he would have to get past with a film crew to meet these politicians and for them falling for Borat again I'm not sure.

However it is America so you never know.

Haha, oh god; I just had flashbacks of every damn office co-worker and (now former) friend quipping "my wiiiiife" at every available opportunity.

How can Cohen be expecting to get away with this stuff now? Surely the world and his wife knows who Borat is at this stage.

I'm a big fan of Borat but I don't think a lot of it was as off the cuff and authentic as the finished product suggested. I'm as cynical as they come though!

that's addressed in the description

As far as the plot goes, Borat is no longer the little-known Kazakh TV personality he played in the original 2006 movie. This time, the public knows who he is, so the character has to go “undercover” to interview people.

Give me Borat in a mankini or a reprise of the nude wrestling with Azamat any time.

Looks like they changed the full title, it's now The Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. :eek:

The guy is a complete hypocrite with his attacks on free speech and social media.

I get him, I liked Ali G back in the day ,I watched it from the start on Channel 4 but that doesnt mean that he is a huge hypocrite.
He gave some speech last year criticising social media and that freedom of speech needed to be censored .

You obviously aren't because you're still talking about him.

johnny_ultimate · 21-10-2020 11:00pm

Been a while since I’ve found his work particularly funny.

But catching one of the world’s scuzziest men on camera with his hands down his pants (literally) is a damn fine achievement.

Ah now. Facebook wanted to curate people's social and political lives and messaging but washed its hands of basic due diligence to catch the obvious potential for manipulations shown latterly by the infection of "fake news", the antithesis of Free Speech IMO. FB positioned itself as a vital apparatus of the social consciousness but with none of the based oversight of even editorialised news outlets adhere to. Cohen's point of view seems fair enough to to me. Besides, "Free Speech" is not an automatic immunity from consequence or action; otherwise libel laws and so on wouldn't exist. Facebook tried to shortcut the trust element.

... Oh yeah. Borat lol

I genuinely don't think I will ever tire of him. Watching him for over 20 years and he is funnier now than he was back then.

Went back over the old bruno videos and they are even more hilarious now, no regard for pc crap these days.

22-10-2020 10:19am

I went through almost all of SBC's old stuff during lockdown on YouTube. The guy is nothing short of a genius. His scripted stuff is the worst by miles though.

p to the e · 22-10-2020 11:42am

If it's as good as "Who is America?" we're in for a treat. When he had the food critic eating "filet of vegetarian fed Chinese dissident". Nearly died laughing.

homerun_homer · 23-10-2020 9:52am

I haven't liked any of his movies so far, that's not to say I didn't laugh at any of them, so I'm hesitant to this. I love when he's undercover catching people out but then in the movies too much of it feels false, and then the scripted elements of it bring it down. I'll give it a watch over the weekend cause what else would I be doing.

Watched this last night.. Seemed to be far more scripted stuff than undercover stuff. Thought it was pretty terrible and I'm usually a big fan of his.

The Giuliani thing I'm sure will be a let down, and no doubt is just hyped up more to promote the film.

Giuliani did nothing inappropriate in the film.
Was a bit naive but was just trying to be polite.

that scene is already out there if you look for it...

its more 'creepy old man' than anything really inappropriate

How do I watch this legally in Ireland? I have Amazon Prime but it's saying it's not available in my region.

I watched it on Prime in Ireland. Get onto their customer support and tell them you've moved to England. Think that's what I did last year.

No issue with it on my prime account which is an Irish one.

It's exactly what I expected, I did enjoy it. Typical Borat antics

Strange thing for a political lawyer to do,go in to a private bedroom on an invitation to have a drink with a 20 something attractive journalist and ask her for her phone no and address while spending an inordinate amount of time with his hands down his trousers after the mic pack was taken off and patted her very close to her ass for whatever reason.
Uncomfortable viewing for his wife anyway at the very least.

This was supposed to launch on Amazon on Friday but they decided to rush it out Thursday for the debate,Trump dosent have a chance ever with even this branch of the media plotting for timely assassinations to try and subvert elections and i am no Trump supporter.

gmisk · 23-10-2020 10:21pm

Just to note Giuliani isn't married.
He was recently divorced for the third time, hey at least it wasn't his cousin this time.

Me too but I had to search for it, didn't come up on main screen or any categories which I found strange.

23-10-2020 11:04pm

I'm watching it. It took a couple of searches to find.
It is pretty predictable but I am enjoying it.
Haven't got to Guiliani yet.

I don't think he would get away with something as random as the first one now. He is known and googleable.

The first one was scripted too. The naked fight in the hotel was shot in lots of different hotels.

PsychoPete · 23-10-2020 11:25pm

I thought that scene with the weird father daughter ball or whatever it is was kind of creepy and as for that fertility dance

Royale with Cheese · 23-10-2020 11:47pm

I watched the original last weekend for the first time in many years. I thought it was still hilarious, holds up surprisingly well. This? It's just not very funny, there's not much more to say about it than that.

Ikozma · 24-10-2020 12:22am

I love borat but tbh I won't watch this again, bar a couple of laugh this was pure and utter garbage

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-10-2020 12:33am

I liked it. There's nothing too cringeworthy, and it's Borat humour we've largely heard before, but for an entertaining 90 minutes or so it does the job.

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2020 1:51am

Watched it, the "daughter" character was irritating, it's pretty much all over the place, there's a few funny bits but overall massively staged, it would be better if instead the whole story revolved around him bringing a fancy gold watch to Pence. I actually think a full film of Gio Monaldo would have been a much better idea, very hard to recognise him in that disguise and he could have come out with all sorts.

Unless you have seen the first film and absolutely loved it I would completely avoid this.

I think a big problem is Borat is instantly recognisable now so probably why things end up been staged. One joke I did quite enjoy was

"We now export grooms" and the delivery address is Kevin Spacey"
