On why he brought Borat back, and why he is done
“I brought Borat out because of Trump. There was a purpose to this movie, and I don’t really see the purpose to doing it again. So yeah, he’s locked away in the cupboard.”
From a Variety cover interview about making Borat Subsequent Moviefilm during the pandemic and before the 2020 election. In the same piece he said: “I felt democracy was in peril, I felt people’s lives were in peril and I felt compelled to finish the movie.”
