Today at noon Universal released the Bruno trailer. For the rest of the day, the traffic to see it overwhelmed MySpace to the point that the link stopped working. And that was without any publicity, advance or otherwise. Not even the lame age requirement stopped Sacha Baron Cohen’s multitudes of fans. (The studio told me it couldn’t make a “green band” trailer suitable for everyone to view because of all the “red band” dirty scenes it had to work with. What b.s.)
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

I hope I’m not the only one who kept hitting the play button over and over wondering why ISN”T THIS WORKING….!!!
So lame.
Link worked fine for me, Nikki. What’s the fuss about? And it doesn’t look nearly as funny as Borat did – but you never know. I’ll give it a shot.
uh, it’s the #1 video on Myspace:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.charts
it’s already been ripped to other sites. how’s that a fuck up?
Who cares how they released it? It’s frickin’ hilarious. Stop the whining and laugh.
Age requirement was hassle but trailer was definitely worth the time!
The trailer was having trouble loading for awhile, presumably because it was getting a ton of hits. As for the age requirement? It’s become pretty standard since the Apatow led success of red bands. What other choice do they have? Of course they could have made a green band, and they surely will. But red bands are attention getters… Personally I like them, and they certainly have done well for the comedies that have embraced them.
ummm…that wasn’t funny. I’ll probably still give it a shot, but…I dunno…
…I guess I was expecting more…
…yeah, not funny…
Call me crazy but releasing something to the most popular social networking site and knowing that you’re going to get great viral spreading seems like a good idea.
Crap with a capital “C” especially when you know how he went about making it. I’ll stick to watching Dave Chappelle, he’s funnier.
Bruno will be a huge hit for sure. That was one damn funny trailer..can’t hardly wait for the movie to be out
Had enough with all the silly bro-comedies out past year with the likes of I love U, Man, Role Models, etc..same old plot recycle with same cast.
Sasha is the funny man in Hollywood and for those who didn’t get him? Sad for u!
It looks funny, yes, but I think they need to keep the whole thing non-scripted because there are parts where they are hiring day players and extras and that kinda takes from it’s whole shock appeal. Also, the consent forms, as I understand it, are so full of legalise, you’d need a supreme court justice to interpret it. He really is funny, but some people do get emotionally hurt in the making of these. So the word of caution is to just be on the lookout for this cat and don’t get yourself into anything that sounds fishy.
But it’s always fun to laugh at someone else’s expense.
damned hilarious – and I rarely laugh at trailers designed to make one laugh.
I’m with “Disappointed”. Sorry Universal, that was pretty lame.
Ummmm… that is not funny. Another example of Hollywood elite opinion folding in on itself. Ugh.
Until Uni comes out with the figures, I will just sit here hoping that it doesn’t beat Star Trek trailer 3′s 5million HD downloads in 5 days.
I saw Bruno last night at a test screening in Sherman Oaks. It was way darker and funnier than Borat, and I’m a huge fan of that movie. The crowd was in hysterics throughout.
I want Bruno. Now.
THIS MOVIE WILL KILL AT THE B.O. I AM SO THERE! JUST FROM THE TRAILER ALONE IT LOOKS TEN TIMES BETTER THAN BORAT! MONSTER HIT!
It’s going to be hysterical and brilliant.
That was hilarious. Some of you are just fuddy duddies.
Hilarious, Hilarious, Hilarious. So funny I shit my pants.
From what I can tell, it’s Borat in a mesh shirt and no mustache.
the people who said the trailer isn’t fun obviously don’t have a senses of humor or they must be aliens or something…. that trailer was freakin hilarious..
I can see it already — the gay lobby backlash — the endangering a baby rage — Hollywood celebraties rushing to the defense of various fashion houses.
This is gonna be fun.
Looks like a two hour homophobic rant. Thanks a lot SBC.
