Sascha Baron Cohen's Bruno movie sets release date

Everyone break out your laced-up denim and leather.  Funkyzeit mit Bruno wants you to say hello to Austria Gay TV!

Sacha Baron Cohen's third alter-ego, Bruno is the fabulous Austrian fashionista who, as a character on Da Ali G Show, has interviewed everyone from a gay converter ("So, why is being gay so out this season?") to a group of college wrestlers on spring break.

After the big-screen introduction of everyone's favorite Kazakh, many doubted Cohen could pull off a stunt of such Boratical proportions ever again, but his plans of bringing Bruno to the big screen are quite real. The project has been in the works for some time now, and a release date of May 15, 2009 recently surfaced.

Is another round of a Cohen alter-ego an "ach ya" or a "nicht nicht?"  Based solely on a rumored Ahnold/Bruno run-in, we'll have to go with the "ach ya," but feel free to weigh in with a comment below.
