Borat sequel 'already filmed' by Sacha Baron Cohen
The popular 2006 film following the fictional Kazakh television personality could be getting a sequel.
A sequel to Borat has been filmed in Los Angeles, according to reports - and the new film may even already have been screened for people in the industry.
According to Collider, the new film will see Sacha Baron Cohen reprise his role as the popular character, almost fifteen years after the original film was released in 2006.
Whereas the first film saw Borat as an unknown Kazakh television personality, the second will apparently see him become a victim of his fame - forcing him to go undercover to interview people.
However, there are conflicting reports surrounding the exact nature of the film with one source reportedly describing the film as “Cohen playing Borat playing Cohen" and another source claiming that description was false.
Beyond that, details about the film are scarce, with no information regarding which movie studio is behind the project, who will be directing, or when the film will be released.
