Buzz Watch: Sacha Baron Cohen's New Movie "Bruno" Has Online Appeal

Authored by Jay Baage on June 18, 2008 - 6:13am.

Sacha Baron Cohen will follow-up last year's success of Twentieth Century Fox’s "Borat" with another R-rated comedy based on a Cohen character from "The Ali G Show" namely the flamboyant fashion journalist "Bruno". This time it will be a Universal production (they won the bidding war, reportedly coughing up $42 million for the worldwide rights) and the release date is set to be May 15, 2009, making it a high-profile summer release. "Bruno" is an example of a controversial movie that will present traditional marketers with a challenge, but it has potentially huge online appeal. There is already an unauthorized (?) site set up with user-generated news, video and pics from the movie that you can find here. It will be very interesting to see Universal's approach to marketing this movie going forward...

Can all you jerks posting links to so called 'quick' survey sites stop insulting the worlds intelligence and instead use your time more productively, start by jamming your market research up eachothers asses. What sort of world is it where even the pirates get hijacked?......sad, just sad
