You Loved Borat? Get Ready For Bruno
Posted By:Jane Wells
Sectors:Media

Bruno Movie
Bruno Movie

It may be one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the year: Sasha Baron Cohen's "Bruno", where the British comedian, made famous as the Kazakh buffoon Borat, hits the streets of America as a gay Austrian TV commentator.

Personally, I always like Bruno better than Borat during Cohen's "Ali G" days.

Universal Pictures [GE  Loading...      ()   ] is counting heavily on Cohen to deliver. "Borat" only cost an estimated $18 million to make, yet BoxOfficeMojo reports the film grossed $261 million worldwide. Will Bruno be nearly as successful?

He will certainly be just as outrageous. In the film, Bruno's antics include adopting an African child and naming him O.J.. He attends a fashion show in Milan wearing an all-Velcro suit, with disastrous results. And then there's the hunting expedition he goes on with some red-blooded American males. "Bruno" hits American theaters July 10th, but expect the US version to be slightly sanitized, as it currently warrants an NC-17 rating. Universal will want that reduced to an "R".

Meantime, for a taste of what to expect in "Bruno", The Sun has obtained a sneak peak of the trailer. Warning, this is not for kids.
