20th Century Fox have rubbished reports of a Borat sequel after Rupert Murdoch said Sacha Baron Cohen had signed up to do one.

Fox�s Chris Petrikin denied that the British actor had signed any deal saying that any idea of a sequel was premature.

He said: "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."

Cohen is widely reported to have already signed a deal with Fox to make a film about one of his other characters Bruno.
