Dynaman Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) EDIT - thread moved from Remakes thread so comment no longer applies. Truly a talented singer and hopefully it is a good movie. Edited May 16, 2018 by Dynaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie deserves his own thread, and this movie has been in development hell for over a decade, I remember when Sacha Baron Cohen was going to be Freddie.

Mommar Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I wonder how it will be. At one point Sacha Baron Cohen was looking to make a pretty hard R bio-pic and Brian May was adamantly against it because he wanted to protect Freddie. It makes me think back to an interview with Freddie where he was asked how he wanted to be remembered and he replied, "I don't care, just don't make me boring." Hopefully this won't be boring.

Black Valkyrie Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 For me it was Bohemian Rhapsody and We are the Champions, in the late the 70s. Still remember my introduction to those songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was Queen either Most likely my first Queen song as my parents didn't care for rock opera music back then. Boy, we really had far less choices of access to media when we were kids, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekering Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I love how many obscure Muppet characters they managed to work into that... although I could've done with a little less of the inarticulate Animal. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! Not liking Animal is heresy my man. Plus his bit got rid of the whole "killing a man" part of the song, which is more than the Muppets is known for even though they are not quite as squeaky clean as we normally think.

Tking22 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I've been following this movie for years, even before Sacha was attached, I am a MASSIVE Queen fan, I've already got tickets for their residency with Adam Lambert here in Vegas. My main fear for this film is exactly what Sacha pointed out, and they were his reasons for dropping off the project after 6 years. Apparently Brian May himself let Sacha know something "magic" happened half way through the movie, Freddie dies... Half way through the movie. Sacha, as I would imagine many others, thought that sounded utterly ridiculous. Brian wanted the entire second half of the film to follow Queen after Freddie's death, but let's be real here, people want to go see this to see one of the single greatest performers in history immortalized on the big screen by a competent actor. Also, Sacha learned the band wanted very, very little of Freddie's male lover's or "close" friends depicted in the film. That is another bummer, that is not Freddie. Kind of lame if they dial back on that part of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking forward to this movie!! I usually see him as Elliot Alderson, rocking a hoodie and a one-tone monologue. Always a trip to see Rami Malek in other roles, but pretty sure he'll knock it out and disappear into the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very true, although I had just finished watching an episode of The Pacific and then saw this trailer. When Rami says "this is when the operatic section comes in" his facial expression had me sold on seeing this film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I read those stories from Sacha as well. He wanted to focus on Freddie with the movie ending with his death. They wanted it to be about the band and how the band goes on without him. I'm guessing in this is going to conclude with Live Aid. As the story goes everyone thought Queen lost their steam prior to it and stole the entire show. It makes a happy conclusion to the movie. They'll freeze frame it on Freddie and text on screen will tell us the rest. A movie about Queen the Band is awesome rocking fun. A movie about Freddie Mercury is good storytelling.

Marzan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Normally I don't really like biopic films, but seeing that trailer got me stoked. Queen is the soundtrack of my childhood and I cannot miss this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrov27 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 looking good - must see here Always been a Queen fan big-time - first heard them in the soundtrack to Flash Gordon when 10 or 11 I think - best part of that movie (though even at 11 I thought Princess Aura was mighty interesting....)

tekering Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I love Gwilym Lee as Brian May, but I'm rapidly losing confidence in Rami Malek as Freddie... ...I mean, was Bryan Singer deliberately framing him to look like a scrawny teenager? This is what Freddie Mercury looked like in '77, when "We Will Rock You" was composed and recorded. The short hair and mustache was '80s Freddie. I mean, if the movie couldn't even get that right...

Mommar Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Everything about Freddie in that clip seemed wrong except they guy got a relatively accurate tone to his voice. Otherwise he looked like he didn't even fit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
