WARNING:  MUST BE 17 TO VIEW

Sacha Baron Cohen, the brilliant Brit comic chameleon behind Ali G and Borat, has released the trailer to his new movie, Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt.

Like Borat, Bruno is a foreign correspondent sent to the United States to study its culture.  Unlike Borat, Bruno is a flamboyant, outrageous flaming queen from Austria who places himself in the most awkward gay-unfriendly situations imaginable.

                                                         

Ali G, Borat, and Bruno (all played by an unrecognizable Baron Cohen) were recurring characters on HBO's Da Ali G Show.  On the show, Bruno was sent to interview unsuspecting people in places like a gun show and an Alabama high school football stadium.  He once got a group of clueless, drunk, straight frat boys on spring break in Fort Lauderdale to show their bare asses on camera before telling them how much his gay Austrian audience would adore them.

According to rumors, the film will feature a supposed "Redneck Rumble" in Arkansas where Bruno strips and kisses another male actor, an interview with former presidential candidate Ron Paul, and footage of Bruno storming the Milan fashion week catwalk.

Baron Cohen played a gay French NASCAR driver opposite Will Ferrell in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.   The talented actor has also appeared (and sang) in Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street opposite Johnny Depp, and voiced a character in the animated film Madagascar

He is married to Wedding Crashers and  Confessions of a Shopaholic actress Isla Fischer.  The couple just welcomed a new baby.

Bruno is set for a July 10th release by Universal Pictures.  The MPAA has already slapped it with an NC-17 rating.

Looks like fun!
