Borat 2: First Promotional Image Released, Amazon Prime Release Date Confirmed

Borat 2 will be released on Amazon Prime on October 23rd, as shown off (among other things) in a new promotional image. The film – which sadly may not be called Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan – got a startling first promotional image on Twitter, with Borat himself encouraging mask use amid the pandemic, in exactly the way you'd expect/fear:

Borat 2 has appeared out of nowhere, with the first reports about the film appearing when members of the public saw star Sacha Baron Cohen filming in LA. Since then, it's emerged that the film has already been screened. Speculation had contended that the film would be released ahead of the US election in an attempt to reach younger voters, a theory supported by the October 23 date. The movie has been filmed internationally, with those involved saying Cohen had "risked his life multiple times to shoot the scenes in this film", requiring a bulletproof vest in some locations. Plot details, co-stars, and the inevitable appearance of famous people who don't know they're part of a spoof have not yet been announced.
