Borat Escapes Unharmed



Fox has set a March 6 release date for the highly anticipated Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan DVD, and confirmed that nothing will be cut from the theatrical version, despite much whining and many frivolous lawsuits from the film's "victims." In addition, the disc will include deleted scenes (many of which have already premiered on YouTube), as well as some of Sacha Baron Cohen's in-character promotional appearances at the Toronto International Film Festival, the San Diego Comic-Con, and Cannes.

Borat is currently kicking unexpected ass at several online Oscar polls, with Cohen looking more and more likely to grab a nomination for Best Actor. Meanwhile, analysts estimate that over 10,000 of Sean Penn's tears have landed on his All the King's Men DVD this month alone.

Cohen is currently filming Sweeney Todd with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, and will next film Dinner for Schmucks, a remake of a French film about a man who ruins the life of anyone he meets. Why don't you ask this guy if Cohen fits the part?
