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.

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

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.
