I was really looking to Sacha Baron Cohen playing Mercury, but that fell through. The guy who ultimately got the role doesn't look as intriguing, but the movie looks good. Hopefully Hollywood didn't F this story up.

After hearing from Cohen what they have envisioned for this film, I don't have high hopes. But who knows.

I agree.
I think Cohen was on the right track... sort of.
Can you imagine being in a party and lines of coke are served by dwarves????????
Holy fuck I’m in. Lol

To be fair, if they had focused only on the excesses (sex drugs rocknroll) would have been cliche but the version suggested by the remaining members sounded lame and pretty much way too feel good/brushed up.

his version of the movie sounds better ,it would look a little silly for a 6'4" - 6'5" sasha baron cohen to dwarf the band . I think Rami malek is a better casting choice because he was freddie mercury size.

Queen was notorious for their appreciation of cocaine. David Bowie too.

They composed under pressure in Bowie house in Switzerland under the influence of lots of wine and coke.

Just the fact that Brian May and Queen would make this about themselves, and how they overcame and went on without their lead singer... who cares? People are interested in Freddie Mercury.

I was up for Cohen doing it too, he’s got some decent pipes on him. I liked the idea of Q from the recent Bond movies as well.

Shame I never got to see Queen with Freddie, seeing them with Adam Lambert last year was awesome though, he’s probably the best replacement.

Couldn’t agree more.
You think Queen = mercury. Sorry for all the other dudes
