Martin Scorsese‘s children’s movie Hugo is starting to build good word of mouth after a New York screening. The first trailer was a little more slapsticky and was selling the film more to children than film fans, and it seemed to suggest a lesser film, but it looks like the film is better than that, and the new trailer sells the scale and wonder. Check it out…
Back in August we posted a photo of Sir Ben Kingsley on the set of his latest film, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. It’s directed by Martin Scorsese and marks the helmer’s first entry into the children’s genre and 3D filmmaking. Today on Facebook (via The Playlist) we got our first glance at another actor dressed in character from the film, Sacha Baron Cohen. We also have a new photo of Kingsley that shows him looking a bit aged beyond his years. Check it out…
Boom, boom, psssh. Boom, boom, psshh. We will, we will, rock you! Sing it! Now that we’ve got you hype off some vintage Queen are you ready for this? A Freddie Mercury biopic is on the way. The lead singer of the group who was known for his signature fashion and songwriting skills is headed to the big screen — via Sacha Baron Cohen.
Sacha Baron Cohen may still be stewing over a supporting role in Men in Black 3, but according to Deadline Hollywood he’s already got a part in Martin Scorsese’s latest project. The Oscar winning director has been working on a live action adaptation of the children’s novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and he plans on bringing Cohen, and Shutter Island co-star Ben Kingsley along for the ride.
Sacha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement are both comedic geniuses in their own right but only one of them can fill the role as the “funny guy” in the upcoming Men in Black sequel, MIB 3. According to a report from Bloody Disgusting the actors are in the running to star as a character named Yaz in the Columbia Pictures production.
It’s hard to believe that the majority of the summer’s most talked about releases are already hitting DVD shelves. Sacha Baron Cohen‘s latest character driven venture Bruno, hit domestic theaters back in July and the marketing for its home release is already in full swing. One of the many extras that will be featured on the Bruno DVD is an awkward extended scene with baseball legend, Pete Rose.

Surprise, surprise someone else is pissed off at Sacha Baron Cohen for the way that they were portrayed in his film Bruno… why is this news, because it’s a terrorist leader. Or so we think. According to Cohen, apparently terrorists are hard to find!
WND is reporting that the man called a terrorist in the film, Ayman Abu Aita, served in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades from 2000 until 2003, but was reformed after two years in an Israeli prison for an accusation that he was involved in a shooting. Aita is now offended by Bruno and is saying that he was lied to…
“[Baron Cohen] said this was a film going to help the Palestinian cause,” Aita told WND. “When I heard (four days ago) what this film was about I really didn’t believe it.”
Aita is now thinking about pursuing legal actions against Cohen. Below we get to see a video of Sacha Baron Cohen as…. SACHA BARON COHEN on Letterman talking about his experience with Aita….
Bruno has waited long enough to make his debut on the big screen — the time has come for Sacha Baron Cohen‘s Bruno to take over the box office.
With Transformers going on its third week — the robot-hype is finally settling down, there shouldn’t be too much competition from the film. Ice Age on the other hand is still going strong in theaters and it will definitely be attracting all of those who think that Bruno is too offensive. Yet, odds are that Bruno’s dramatic premiere entrances, outrages photos and even his stunt with Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards, will surely get him a number one spot.
You’ve seen the poster, the dramatic premiere entrances, the photos, the red band trailer, him falling on Eminem’s face and all too much of Sacha Baron Cohen’s ass, now it’s time for the real deal. It’s time for Brüno. Here is what you need to know:
Just like the first time when you saw Borat, you will be in complete and utter dismay at what you see in front of you. It doesn’t feel re-hashed, it delivers everything you could want from an offensive comedy.
Now it’s time for the good, the bad and the plot… Continue Reading
