The comedian also teases some of his other returning characters ahead of his directorial debut, "Ali G: Who Iz I?" The post Sacha Baron Cohen Revives Borat to Rebut Racism Complaints About ‘Ali G’ Movie appeared first on TheWrap .
Sacha Baron Cohen has brought back his iconic character Borat to address racism concerns surrounding the sequel to his popular series "Ali G." The second trailer for the upcoming film, titled "Ali G: Who Iz I?" showcases Borat's return, which is meant to set up the plot, including familiar elements like Kazakhstan references and his wife.
The response aims to quell complaints from U.K. watchdog activists who have urged theaters not to screen the satirical movie, claiming it to be racist. In the film, Borat reveals that Ali G's girlfriend Julie is eight months pregnant and decides to journey to America to regain his former fame, only to face adversaries that could threaten his and his child's lives.
Morgan Robinson steps into the role of Julie, a character previously portrayed by Cohen in "Ali G Indahouse." The film, produced by Amazone MGM, Four by Two Films, and Working Title Films, will have a one-weekend exclusive theatrical release on October 23.
