BRUNO movie. Legal question. Does anyone know how they do this? - GoFuckYourself.com

2MuchMark · 11-21-2010, 01:41 PM

So yesterday I watched BRUNO (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889583/) starring comedian Sacha Baron Chohen (BORAT) and as expected, laughed my head off during the whole movie. For anyone who hasn't seen it, Sacha plays Bruno who some how plays amazing jokes on individuals, groups, celebrities and even arena's full of people. In one scene, he upsets a focus group watching a new TV show. In another he pisses off Paula Abdul. The last bit where he freaks out a bunch of rednecks in Alabama is just amazing.

My question is, how does he legally do this? Don't these people have to sign an agreement giving permission to be in his movie? And considering some of the humiliation some of these people go through (including some serious career killing moments), why would any of them choose to still be in the movie? Or is it possible that some of these agreements are tricks or somehow so iron clad that you're fucked no matter what?

yes some guy is suing him...google it

Phillipmcd1 · 11-21-2010, 01:52 PM

He was sued tons of times for Borat

2MuchMark · 11-21-2010, 01:55 PM

But has he lost any of those lawsuits?

MasterM · 11-21-2010, 01:59 PM

that movie sucked big time

Scott McD · 11-21-2010, 02:06 PM

Don't think i could watch all of Bruno after some of the things i've heard about it...

Agent 488 · 11-21-2010, 02:15 PM

never heard of bruno.

ottopottomouse · 11-21-2010, 02:20 PM

People will sign anything to get their ugly mug in a film.

your in porn, you should be familar with the blanket name and likeness clause that can go in an unlimited release.

he basically used a release that expansive for these people, and they signed it.

If you knew half the shit this asshole gets away with...

Argos88 · 11-21-2010, 04:18 PM

I watched part of borat with this British-SIONIST guy "Sacha Baron Cohen" and it ws not funny at all..

Seriously.. it is not funny.. his humour is too obvious and BIZARRE.. unless you have some serious mental issues and some PARAPHILIA with SC*T or GAYS drinking a Shake of Women's breast feed milk, then forget about laughing with this shitty movie...

That's why it was AVOIDED in many countries... the guy Pass a limit with nosense...

Pretty crazy and just for doing a few bucks.. Pathetic.

HorseShit · 11-21-2010, 04:43 PM

somebody should email borat what jokes are not so funny
he seems to be such a nice willing bloke
maybe he needs some better and less obvious jokes

zeuse · 11-21-2010, 04:47 PM

His best piss takes were as Ali G.

i liked borat but not bruno

fogfever · 11-21-2010, 05:15 PM

He gets the people to sign the agreement BEFORE they do the filming.

CurrentlySober · 11-21-2010, 05:15 PM

I like bruno

11-21-2010, 05:18 PM

borat was amazing, bruno not so good, im sure i heard a whisper some of the borat lawsuits were put up to increase publicity, but i dunno, never looked into it

Si · 11-21-2010, 05:24 PM

Bruno was too gay

Borat was hilarious

Davy · 11-21-2010, 05:25 PM

Jagshemesh! The best part in Bruno was the surfer dudes going nuts for Austrian gay TV.
Have you seen the interviews that he had with people for his Ali G show? I wonder what they told those high profile people and why they agreed to do the interview. They probably told them that this guy is a little backwards and is doing a show for the kids channel. Why else would those people have agreed to do the interview? This is not about some guys who want to sell themselves like in Bruno. His persona Ali G has interviewed lots of celebs that do not profit from this kind of exposure.

Konda · 11-21-2010, 06:24 PM

I think a lot of it is staged. For example I saw something in the very first trailer, and it was different in the actual movie, meaning they re-shot it, so the people obviously knew.

datatank · 11-21-2010, 07:06 PM

You understand its all fake right?

DBS.US · 11-21-2010, 07:10 PM

It's a movie, some parts are real and some are fake. some parts are real with fake reshoots edited in.

Some people signed a release, some didn't. Think about it like it's a documentary. You don't need a release from soldiers in a firefight or every fireman fighting a fire.

The question about Borat lawsuits were put up to increase publicity? True, it's Hollywood, don't believe anything you hear about who is dating who and how much somebody got paid or how many albums or tickets someone sold. It's all marketing made to get you to believe it's a great product and you should buy it.

Toni · 11-22-2010, 12:25 AM

I think I read that he had to remove a lot of stuff from Bruno before it was released

It is actually a mix of fake and real. There are situations where he tells the people he is making a reality show or documentary or something so that they will sign the release then he does his crazy shit without them knowing. case in point is the Paula Abdul stuff. She was told that she had some some award and was going to this house to do the interview for winning the award. What she got was Bruno there and human furniture and all that stuff. She had no idea what was going on.

Agree on that... Borat is better that Bruno
