Fascinating Interview with the Writers of Borat

I’m really looking forward to the release of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan on DVD next month, but I was really hoping for some form of behind the scenes footage, or an audio commentary detailing the production process on such a unique film. While the DVD doesn’t offer any of those things, here is a great (and lengthy) interview that was recently posted online with two of the writers of Borat, Anthony Hines and Peter Baynham. The video comes courtesy of the Lunch With David segment from Movie City News. I still don’t really understand how they qualified for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, but this interview gives you an idea of what they went through to piece a movie like this together. Pretty interesting stuff.
