Is Borat Coming to Wreak Havoc on Campus?

Anonymous UTB moles tell us that one Sacha Baron Cohen may pop up at Penn some time in the very near future to work on his follow-up to Borat, Bruno the Movie. Dorm staffers have been given strict instructions not to let his pesky faux-documentary camera crews inside any buildings:
We have heard, through University Communications, that rumors are afloat about Sacha Baron Cohen (the producer of the movie Borat) coming to the Penn campus to shoot some footage. If you are familiar with his work, including his newest project called Bruno the Movie, you know that it's unlikely the production crew will contact the University for permission to shoot. In fact, it is his trademark to pose as fictitious characters and dupe people into being filmed in compromising situations.
Please note Penn's policy:Film/TV crews are allowed to shoot on public property but we do not want crews to get into any of our College Houses or other buildings without the necessary permission.
Facilities and security staff are being reminded today that no film/camera crews are permitted in any University buildings without permission from the Communications office.
