Claims of Borat sequel are premature

Film studio 20th Century Fox has said that claims that a second Borat film has been confirmed are premature.

The statement comes after owner Rupert Murdoch said that Sacha Baron Cohen had "signed up to do a sequel for us".

A representative for the company told the BBC, "We're eager to work with Sacha again, and we've had casual discussions about a sequel.

"At this point it remains too preliminary to discuss."

The film was extremely successful, winning a Golden Globe in addition to being nominated for an award at this year's Oscars.
