Murdoch: ‘Borat 2’ is on the way
British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has signed a deal to make “Borat 2,” a sequel to the hit film about an intrepid Kazakh journalist’s road trip across America, News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch said Thursday.
“He’s signed up to do a sequel for us,” Murdoch told reporters.
Baron Cohen’s mock documentary, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” has grossed $248 million at the box office worldwide and earned an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay.
Baron Cohen also won a Golden Globe for his performance in the movie, distributed by News Corp.-owned film studio 20th Century Fox.
