A recent WGA filing—since taken down— has this “Borat” sequel nonchalantly titled “Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan.” Got that? The original 2006 comedy classic, a scathingly comic indictment of racist attitudes in the U.S, went by the equally lengthy “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”
The original ‘Borat’ was directed by Larry Charles, with a story co-written by Todd Phillips. We still don’t know who is directing this sequel. There are pranks said to involve abortion clinics, right-wing rallies, and Trump consiglieres Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pence.
I was already aware of a test screening that occurred four weeks ago for this anticipated sequel. “Borat 2” is rumored to have Cohen’s Kazakh character “thinking he’s a big movie star after the success of the original 2006 film made him famous, so he tries to hide from the public by pretending to be someone else, and starts meeting and interviewing people using various different costumes.”
