10 Movies That Were Filmed In Total Secrecy

This past summer, reports began to emerge that Sacha Baron Cohen had been spotted in costume as his iconic creation Borat, showing up in disguise at a right-wing rally and being caught filming a scene in a car as recently as August.

By early September, rumour spread that not only had Cohen shot a Borat sequel with an anonymous director - presumably for fear of reprisals - but that the film had been cut together and screened for select studio executives.

A short time later, Amazon Studios confirmed that Borat 2 - or its full title, Borat: Gift of Pornographic Monkey to Vice Premiere Mikhael Pence to Make Benefit Recently Diminished Nation of Kazakhstan - would be released on Amazon Prime on October 23rd.

Additional reports stated that Cohen had to wear a bulletproof vest during two especially dicey days of filming, ensuring that the sequel immediately became one of the year's most anticipated, must-see movies.

That Cohen managed to film so much of it without being rumbled, especially with the Borat persona being so visible worldwide, is extremely impressive.
