Borat's upcoming sequel will officially be titled Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan, according to a now-removed listing that appeared on the Writer's Guild of America West's website. While the title may be a mouthful, it seems to be par for the course as a follow up to 2006's Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=movie-sequels-that-took-forever&captions=true"] The official listing also details the team behind the sequel. Sacha Baron Cohen will reprise his role as the outlandish reporter Borat, with story credits also going to Anthony Hines (writer for the original Borat, Bruno, and Da Ali G Show), Dan Swimmer (writer for Cohen's Who Is America series on Showtime), and Nina Pedrad (writer for 30 Rock and New Girl). After footage of Sacha Baron Cohen's titular character surfaced on YouTube, it was discovered that a sequel was in the works. The filming in Los Angeles has allegedly wrapped, and it is said to be being screened by industry insiders with a possible launch "prior to the election in an effort to reach younger voters," according to an earlier report by Collider.

Here's to hoping there's some new lines to quote so people can finally stop yelling "my wife" in 2020. It's already hard enough as it is.
