Sacha Baron Cohen Gets Fashionably Gay with Bruno
He stole scenes
from Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights and offended the
entire nation of Kazakhstan with Borat, and now Sacha Baron
Cohen is setting his sights on the world of fashion.
The
British comedian has scored a $42.5 million payday from Universal for
the worldwide rights to Bruno, which will feature another bizarre
Cohen character - a gay fashionista who claims to be "the voice of
Austrian youth TV."
Bruno flitted his way through Cohen's Da Ali G Show - which also
spawned Borat - at New York's Fashion Week, so it's anyone's guess where
the movie will send him when shooting starts this summer.
Jay Roach - a veteran of the Austin Powers comedies - will
produce, but no director has yet been attached to the project.
