Borat gives you a warning
About a month ago, Sacha Baron Cohen dropped a surprise trailer on the return of his character Ali G in the upcoming film Ali G: Who Iz I? Now, Borat has also returned to warn you not to watch the film because it is not racist enough. The famous character gives us a new insight into the movie with a new trailer that’s been released by Amazon MGM Studios.
In the new trailer, not only are we reacquainted with Borat, but he also prepares us for two more of Cohen’s characters from Who is America? — Dr. Nira Cain-N’Degeocello and Erran Morad — also appearing in this film in their own segments. Check out the new trailer above.
The Return of Ali G
Sacha Baron Cohen‘s career exploded with a secondary character that he featured in his comedy series Da Ali G Show. That character was Borat. When the Borat film was released, Cohen became an overnight sensation and a new impression had become ingrained in pop culture ad nauseum. Cohen would find himself doing more traditional comedies, but he would return to his roots as a professional troll with Brüno. Then, he would revisit Borat with a sequel in 2020.
Now, Cohen revisits his classic character, the wannabe “voice of the yoof,” Ali G, in the new film Ali G: Who Iz I? Amazon MGM Studios has just released the trailer for the film, which is slated to hit theaters on October 23.
Who Iz I?
According to Deadline, the film was kept under wraps until Cohen was recently spotted as Ali G at Wimbledon and there had been a news leak that he was making a new film. In the trailer, Ali G makes note of how the world had changed since we last saw him. He would then share his revolutionary new idea for “the first film with real people, not actors,” as he has a camera crew follow him for a documentary. Ali G would also attempt to modernize and stay relevant by making TikToks and capitalizing on trends.
For the first time, Cohen is also on board as the director of his mockumentary and Morgana Robinson also stars in the film.
The synopsis reads,
After twenty years spent “chillin’, tokin’ and bonin’”, Ali G is shocked to discover that his long-term girlfriend, Julie, is 8 months pregnant. Faced with an extra mouth to feed, he gets off his batty and heads to America to reclaim his former glory… but soon encounters adversaries who will ultimately threaten his and his child’s very existence.
