The New York Post has a fascinating article interviewing some of the subjects of Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen’s sure-to-be comedy smash. They reveal how these folks (doctors, cops, agents) were duped into being on film face-to-face with Bruno. Alas, they weren’t able to get any word from Ron Paul.
Also highlighted are some of the methods that Cohen and company used to trick people into being in the movie. They convinced them that the film would only be shown in Germany and Austria (but had them sign waivers for any international release), they hid Bruno from this guests to prevent any last minute walk outs, they kept the director incognito. This was a well-funded, incredibly smart group of people trying to make the most awkward, over-the-top comedy ever. From what I’ve been told by those who’ve seen it, they may have succeeded.
