Sequel to ‘Borat’ Has Reportedly Been Filmed

In August there were social media reports floating around that showed Sacha Baron Cohen filming something in Los Angeles. This, of course, was very vague, but it was still something that may have caught your attention. After all, it’s not like it’s good for business if people know he’s up to something. 

Now, a few weeks later, Collider is reporting that Cohen has already shot a sequel to Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and that he’s subsequently screened the movie for some people in the film industry. Collider writes that it’s their understanding that what was completed is a feature film, and not part of a series or ad campaign. Adjust your expectations as you see fit with that info, but it may be best to wait for updates. 

Collider concedes that details regarding the plot are largely unclear at the moment, but that the titular character’s “no longer the little-known Kazakh TV personality he played in the original 2006 movie.” Because of that things sound like they’ve gotten very meta, as Borat now needs to go “undercover” for interviews because the public’s aware of who he is. A source quoted by Collider says the film is “Cohen playing Borat playing Cohen,” but after they wrote that a separate source contacted them to say that wasn’t an accurate description, while still acknowledging the existence of the movie.
