It has been confirmed that Amazon has picked up the film for worldwide distribution for the film and will be available on Amazon Prime Video on 23 October. The film was made in secret earlier this year, with details only slowly starting to emerge. According to Collider, the film finds Borat "thinking he’s a big movie star after the success of the original 2006 film made him famous, so he’s trying to hide from the public by pretending to be someone else, and starts meeting and interviewing people incognito." Deadline also reports that Sacha Baron Cohen had to wear a bulletproof vest for two days of shooting, as his undercover filming put him in genuine danger. Several videos have also been captured of what looks like Cohen filming in character, including him singing a COVID song at a far-right event, and driving down an LA street. The teaser also features Borat trying to do promo for his new film on a greenscreen, obviously completely failing to understand how that works. Clip via Amazon Prime Video
