Itā€™s being reported that Sasha Baron Cohen is heading back to his roots for his next project: potentially a new Ali G film. Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman is claiming (via World of Reel) that Sasha Baron Cohen is lining up a return of one of his most famous creations. Ali G was one of Cohenā€™s earliest creations and the character that rocketed him to fame, from his humble beginnings as a bit-part character on The 11 Oā€™Clock Show to the star of his own movie in 2002ā€™s Ali G Indahouse.  Cohen retired the character a few years after the filmā€™s release, although he did briefly resurrect him for the 2012 British Comedy Awards. Whilst Indahouse was a success upon release, it left behind the setup-style interviews that made Cohen such a star in favour of a more straight-laced narrative comedy. Cohen would revert back to his former style for 2006ā€™s Borat, which would be far more critically-successful. Apparently, Cohen recently revived the character on-stage in Australia and enjoyed the experience so much, it has him full of enthusiasm to return to the Staines-based interviewer and bringer of ā€˜truthā€™ to the masses. Weā€™re not quite sure where an Ali G cinematic revival could go though, should the story prove to be true. The character is surely far too well-known to hoodwink unsuspecting interviewees anymore, and weā€™re not sure thereā€™s an appetite for the character beyond that. Itā€™s certainly a story thatā€™s come out of nowhere and weā€™ll let you know if we hear anything more substantial that confirms the projectā€™s existence. ā€” Thank you for visiting! If youā€™d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
