"Bruno," Sacha Baron
Cohen's follow-up to "Borat," has been scheduled by Universal
Pictures for a May 15, 2009, release.
Like the title character in the hit "Borat," "Bruno" is
based on a skit character -- this time an Austrian faux
fashionista -- from Cohen's former HBO series, "Da Ali G Show."
So far, Sony's Tom Hanks-starring mystery drama "Angels &
Demons," based on the Dan Brown novel, represents the only
competition for "Bruno" in its release slot.
"Borat," which 20th Century Fox opened in November 2006,
had a better-than-expected bow of $26.5 million and went on to
gross $128.5 million domestically.
