Bruno News

Not surprisingly, Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno is creating havoc around the country.

The Associated Press reports that the gay character of Bruno caused a major ruckus in Arkansas last month at a pair of cage fighting matches. At a June 6 match in Texarkana dubbed "Blue Collar Brawlin'," a "wrestler" named "Straight Dave" challenged a planted audience member to a fight.

Of course, instead of a brawl, this led to a staged homoerotic scene where the two men, stripped to their underwear, grappled, groped and eventually kissed each other as the audience exploded into a bottle-throwing tizzy.

The convention center had to be cleared and the actors involved reportedly fled through a tunnel.

The untitled Bruno movie - whose full title is rumored to be Brüno: 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 - is scheduled for a 2009 release.

Bruno - Sacha Baron Cohen's followup to Borat - will hit theaters on May 15, 2009.

Although details have been kept secret, the new ficomedylm is expected to be similar to Borat; i.e. based on a character that the performer introduced to American audiences with his acclaimed HBO comedy series Da Ali G Show.

Forget Borat. Bruno is coming in May, 2009!

We assume the film will focus on Baron Cohen conducting interviews with people who are supposedly unaware that he's an actor in disguise, this time as a flamboyant Austrian fashion reporter. See?

It's hilarious already.

Borat, who?

Sacha Baron Cohen is seen here in Los Angeles, dressed as flamboyant Austrian fashion journalist Brüno.

The actor continues to make a (comedic) scene while filming his latest movie, tentatively titled, well, Brüno.

Sacha Baron Cohen, best known as a certain Kazakh journalist named Borat, is currently filming his latest movie, Bruno. It's a mockumentary about a gay Austrian TV presenter.

The crew had permission from the Witchita airport to film a scene on March 18 based on a "European man" visiting America. However, problems arose when security workers were alerted abotu men dancing in tight short shorts, kissing and fighting in the lobby.

Later on, Cohen's film crew also reportedly stirred up chaos at a Kansas church by entering as an assumed European documentary crew, but then attempted to become part of a parish play.

Needless to say, we can't wait for Bruno.
