So-called terrorist slams Bruno’s Sasha Baron Cohen as a “big liar”

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.

Variety is reporting Universal Pictures will simultaneously release a tamer version of its controversial offering, Bruno, so that younger British movie-goers can get around its current 18-and-over rating.
Perhaps due to the movie’s disappointing opening at the box office, the filmmakers resubmitted Bruno to the The British Board of Film Classification after deleting a minute and a half worth scenes containing the movie’s strongest sexual depictions and references. The abandoned footage includes a montage of exaggerated sexual activity, the miming of various sexual acts and scenes from a swingers’ party.
Universal decided to cut the film after scores of the underage fans that made Sasha Baron Cohen’s last film, Borat, such a runaway success were turned away at the theatre.
Vying now for a less restrictive “15″ rating, the studio hopes Bruno and his myriad of perversions can reach that younger, impressionable audience.

Welcome to another episode of The Behind The Scenes Show with Eric Fell and Shaun Stewart. This web-i-sode we check out the new 3D animation ‘ Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs‘, Sascha Baron Cohen’s ‘Bruno‘ and ‘The Irishman‘. Enjoy!
.
The sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters “Ice Age” and “Ice Age: The Meldown” are back, on an incredible adventure…for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth, Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if he’s growing too “soft” hanging with his pals. On a mission to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a mysterious underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora and fauna run amuck - and meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck. - In Theaters July 1st, 2009.
The creator, star, writer and producer of Borat and Da Ali G Show has created the gutsiest, craziest and most dangerous comedy to be released in mainstream theaters. In Bruno, Baron Cohen introduces moviegoers to the next character from his award-winning series: a gay fashionista who is the host of the top-rated late night fashion show in any German-speaking country…apart from Germany. Bruno’s mission? To become the biggest Austrian celebrity since Hitler. His strategy? To crisscross the globe in the hopes of finding fame and love. - In Theaters July 30th, 2009.
.
.
The Irishman chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob. Greene was as an upstart longshoreman union rep and later became a cocky, legendarily difficult-to-kill troublemaker in the world of organized crime in the 1970’s. Based on the real story of mobster Danny Greene, Christoper Walken will play the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns and Val Kilmer is a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.

Vassup Hollywood!
The flamboyant fashionista donned some outrageous outfits during his exhausting promotional tour through Europe, but he seems to have saved his biggest shock frock for the Hollywood premiere of the Bruno movie.
The incredible stunt involves Sacha Baron Cohen as BRÜNO riding into the premiere of his Borat Sequel on a military-style tank, completely covered in glam and mirrors, dancing to the latest Techno beats!
Check out the outrageous
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.
Check out the Bruno Highlight Videoclip below!
Bruno opens in theaters in Canada and the U.S. on July 10th.

In character as the gay Austrian fashion reporter, he donned an extravagant new take on the traditional Foot Guard uniform which involved a lot of bare skin.
Bruno is the newest character for Baron Cohen after the success of Borat, who was as hairy as men come.
Bruno is completely hair free - all in a day’s work for the 37-year-old comedian! See photos from the all-star premiere throughout the post and on our Sitelet.
The British comic’s Austrian fashionista alter ego continues to create commotion all around the globe, along with his fiancee, Isla Fisher (seen above)

Slim Shady can dish it out, but he apparently he can’t take it.
The Rapper makes fun of celebrities all the time, but when he is made part of a joke that will go down in history, he gets absolutely enraged and storms out of the MTV Awards while everybody enjoys one of the funniest stunts ever.
Do you think that Eminem being practical joked on by Bruno aka Sacha Baron Cohen was a setup?
It seemed pretty real to everyone here at MovieSet. Even with Eminem having some acting chops, We seriously don’t believe he would allow Sacha’s Genitals to be danging near his mouth. Would love you hear your comments and see what others feel on this subject. Regardless it was hilarity at its finest! This one will be big talked about topic for quite some time. We will keep our blog updated with the newest info, videos, interviews, and rumors about Eminem and his latest Face to Face.
