The movie "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm," recently premiered on the streaming platform Amazon Prime and Jones was quickly crowned the film's breakout star by some viewers. They took to social media to praise her for her caring nature and straight-forward approach in her scenes with the film's actors including Cohen, portraying "Borat," and Maria Bakalova, portraying his daughter "Tutar." Jones thought she was mentoring Bakalova's "Tutar" for a real life documentary.Filthy Pictures Inc. and One Third Of A Brain Ltd. are teaming up for "Reincarnated Royal." The film is described in a news release as a "satirical comedy targeting high-profile figures including self-proclaimed 'mentors' of teenage girls and a certain prime CEO.Bussmann and "Reincarnated Royal" co-creator Naisola Grimwood have not given out much information about the story line.However, in a news release they said Jones' character will be a "warm heart."Like everyone else, we were in tears at Jeanise's appearance in the searing documentary 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,' where she inspired Borat's daughter Tutar to become Kazakhstan's leading feminist, and gave hope to other 15-year-old spinsters," Bussman said in the news release.Reincarnated Royal will be based in Calgary, Alberta in 2021.Jones' pastor set up a GoFundMe account for her after discovering that she had been part of Cohen's satirical comedy instead of documentary. Producers for the "Borat" film visited Jones' church, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist, 3600 N Kelly, saying they wanted to recruit a "Black grandmother" type to help mentor a young woman in a documentary.Jones has been unemployed since the spring due to COVID-19. She said she was paid roughly $3,600 for her role in what she thought was a documentary. The GoFundMe account for Jones, set up by the Rev. Derrick Scobey, had reached $174,460 by Monday evening.Last week, Cohen donated $100,000 to Ebenezer Baptist, which Scobey said the church has earmarked for community services.
