I basically said that Borat is the funniest movie ever made and that it’s almost certainly a mistake to do a sequel.
I told him I loved the script, but I came on very strong.
I was the first person Sacha called about directing this.
I said in almost every version of this it’s a disaster: most comedy sequels aren’t good, the long-delayed sequels are extremely tough, and because of the nature of the movie, Borat is one of the most popular comedy characters of the last century so you have to find people who don’t know who he is.
