The man labeled a “terrorist group leader” in Bruno claims he is now a committed pacifist and that the movie’s star, Sasha Baron Cohen, conducted the interview under false pretenses, according to WorldNetDaily.

Ayman Abu Aita served in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades from 2000 until 2003, after which he did a two year stint in Israeli prison. Now, however, he is dedicated to the Palestinan cause through non-violent means and conducted the interview for Bruno on the pretense it would rally support of international youth. He was shocked to learn the film depicts a homosexual character and contains graphic nudity and sexual fetishes. He also felt there was nothing unusual about Baron Cohen’s appearance or body language to suggest something was amiss with the interview.

Bruno ruled the box office this weekend with an estimated $30.4 million, throwing Transformers 2 to a distant third. To secure it’s success, in the run-up to Bruno’s North American premier, Baron Cohen was aggressively promoting the movie.

When the comedian described to CBS’s David Letterman last week the way he met Aita at an undisclosed location, Aita slammed him as a “big liar” who “made up stories”.

“[Baron Cohen] said this was a film going to help the Palestinian cause,” Aita said. “When I heard (four days ago) what this film was about I really didn’t believe it.”

It comes as no surprise that Aita is consulting lawyers with regards to a lawsuit.

Bruno tours the Globe!

Berlin!

Bruno celebrated the German premiere of his movie by appearing before crowds at the famous Brandenburg Gate wearing a pink knitted bodysuit and matching furry boots.

But what stunned Berliners most was without question his knitted genitalia, hanging out on display for all to admire.

Amsterdam!

The next stop on the tour was Amsterdam, where Bruno arrived on the scene on a jet ski.

He piloted his craft up the tight canal (like someone who’s obviously done it before) and splashed down in the middle of the city’s infamous red light district.

On cue, a whole throng of throng-wearing male models dozen men then emerged from behind the curtains of the three-story building, where female prostitutes normally display their wares to passersby on the street.

The U.K.!

Fans flocked over to Leicester Square on June 17 to see Sacha Baron Cohen strut his stuff as Bruno, and they definitely weren’t disappointed. He showed up in London on Wednesday in skimpy Buckingham Palace guard regalia, revealing even more than he did at the movie’s Paris premiere.

On Feb. 5, 2009, Tom Tykwer’s The International, an action thriller starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts, will open the 59th Berlin International Film Festival.

Tom Tykwer is best known for the 1998 German independent cult hit, Run, Lola, Run, starring his girlfriend at the time, Franke Potente. After that a string of low to medium budget films brought him acclaim in Germany and some notoriety abroad among the art-house crowd. It was the 2006 release of his film, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, based on the novel by German writer Patrick Süskind, where Tykwer made his transition to larger budget films. The International is Tykwer’s first involvement in a co-production with a major U.S. studio, this one being Sony.

Interpol Agent Louis Salinger and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman are determined to bring to justice one of the world’s most powerful banks. Uncovering myriad and reprehensible illegal activities, Salinger and Whitman follow the money from Berlin to Milan to New York to Istanbul. Finding themselves in a high-stakes chase across the globe, their relentless tenacity puts their own lives at risk as their targets will stop at nothing — even murder — to continue financing terror and war.
