Borat and Brüno star, Sacha Baron Cohen recently found himself in a distinctly unfunny situation. He has just joined an exclusive but unenviable club - that of filmmakers whose lives have been threatened by people who have taken umbrage at their artistic endeavors:
It seems that Baron-Cohen is at least taking the threats seriously and has increased his security. Well, at least there is one thing he takes seriously. The al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade has said in a statement that it is very upset. In terrorist speak that means Run for your life, you gonna die!

Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was shot & killed in front of his home, possibly by someone upset about his film "Salo," about the Marquis de Sade.

Surprised Bryan Singer isn't on the list, for what he did to Superman.
