Obsessed With Film

Posted by Matt Holmes

Originally set for October, Sacha Baron Cohen’s second gorilla comedy movie titled Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt will open next Summer.

Universal has given the film a May 15th 2009 release, the same day as Angels & Demons (remember Da Vinci Code is the 25th highest grossing worldwide film of all time) and wedged in the week before Night at the Museum 2 and Terminator IV and the week after Star Trek.

Cohen’s last comedic effort Borat made over $260 million on a budget of just $18 million. Universal have shown great confidence in Cohen being able to recapture the tremendous success of the Kazakhstan native character.

This time he is a gay foreigner, who we already know has punked both Arnie and Ben Affleck - and also becomes a pest at an airport.

2. no offense but i think gorilla’s the apt word.

   guerilla is a war/ared force personnel.

   this comedy’s not even remotely related to war.

   gorilla was used in the context of this Bruno movie being hilarious.
   ever heard of the idiomatic expresion “800-pound gorilla in the room”?
   like something seemingly too large that it can be hard to ignore.
