BRITISH MONARCHY GET PRIVATE BRUNO SCREENING
Members of the British monarchy have requested a private screening of SACHA BARON COHEN’s controversial movie BRUNO.
The funnyman stars in the film as his gay Austrian fashionista alter-ego, which has sparked a number of criticisms due to its explicit content.
Ukrainian authorities have banned Bruno because they believe it will "damage the morality" of locals, while Cohen has reportedly received death threats for ridiculing an Islamic group in one of the scenes.
But despite its graphic and outrageous content, the picture will be screened at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after Universal Studios received an email from Buckingham Palace requesting a copy earlier this week (beg20Jul09).
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "We often get emails from important people requesting prints for private screenings. But when we realised it was for the Royals there were a few chuckles. It isn’t for the faint-hearted." It is not known which members of the British monarchy will view the film.
