Sacha Baron Cohen is to bring the Austrian fashion journalist to the big screen.
Oct 30 2006
Universal Pictures has reportedly paid a whopping $42.5 million for the worldwide distribution rights to 'Bruno', Sacha Baron Cohen's follow-up to 'Borat'.
Following the adventures of an Austrian TV reporter who specialises in fashion, the film will be another reality-based documentary in which Baron Cohen's character makes others look stupid with his outrageous questions and opinions.
The Hollywood Reporter claims that the film's budget will be £20-25 million, with shooting set to start next summer.
And 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan' will hit UK screens on Friday.
