With Bruno probably making $30-ish mil this weekend, and probably making under $100 mil total... Should Cohen have made the Ali G movie as his follow up? It would have been the easier sell, and could have finished with Bruno. |

He already made an Ali G movie. |

Great thread Munky! "Should Sacha Baron Cohen Have Made Bruno, or Should He Have Made, Again, a Movie He Already Made But That I Didn't Know That He Made?" |

If he's already done Ali G, what character do you guys think he will do a film about next? I'm not as familiar with his old show and characters as you guys are. And for that matter, do you think he'll do another film of this type at all or just call it a day and move onto other types of movies? |

Only blackface remains and RDJ mined that last year. Plus, Ali G is jigger/wigger so Cohen was halfway there. |

I can't imagine how much strength his marriage has to have through Borat and Bruno. He can't even take Isla out without being in character I'd imagine. |

Maybe it's just wishful thinking... but couldn't he come up with a new character? I think he's got more steam left in him than Mike Myers circa 2008... |

Mike Myers was typecasted and hasn't done anything worthy since. I mean, The Love Guru? Seriously. Cohen has nothing left unless he can make mainstream without some get-up. |

I do wonder if Cohen is going to get desperate enough to resurrect Borat, though. I'd say almost certainly. |

SBC went from brilliant parody to lazy jackass humor. He's run out of chances for me. |

In hindsight, he should have just done Borat 2. Bruno opened to $30m on that good will, so B2 could have cleared $50m quite comfortably in that slot. |

His non-Bruno/Grimsby/Dictator resume isn't bad at all (Hugo, Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables, easy $$$ in the Madagascar films) but they're all supporting roles. For whatever reason, he's had trouble getting (or staying on) lead parts in non-Larry Charles movies. |
