Answer 1

Yes, Johnny Depp is first choice and Sacha Baron Coen Is on the shortlist. Personally i hope it isn't Sacha (Who also plays Ali G and Borat) as he will make it a comedy or a parody. The only thing he has going for him is that he looks a bit like freddie. However, he may have some dramatic impersonation acting inside him that no one knows about.

How willthey re-do Live Aid? And what will the movie be about? Freddie didnt collapse under pressure, go through any emotional turmoil or anything. He was just a pure amazing man. It will just be Birth - Africa - Career - AIDS - Death.

Answer 2

i might easily pass see it! I agree that an unknown may well be a much better achoice. there become to be a biopic entitled "somebody to love" with the screenplay written by ability of Michael Cunningham (The Hours). the priority? It sucked vast time! It did no longer make it previous the balloting committee. his become final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. i've got no longer heard something because of the fact that different than that many human beings have sent in screenplays for assessment. Robert De Niro who's a factor proprietor of Tribeca movies is a huge Queen and Freddie fan and easily desires to help a action picture approximately Freddie. the themes with Cunningham's script is that the timeline become incorrect, lots a issues have been fabricated, it relatively lined purely one week of Freddie's existence, and the the remainder of Queen have been somewhat reported. Sasha Baron Cohen become in no way seen to play Freddie. Brian would relatively suggested over his lifeless physique. Brian did point out that Depp might make an superb Freddie, yet...as time is going by ability of...Depp maintains to age. permit's purely wish that there is a first rate action picture made and in step with probability out for Freddie's sixty fifth birthday!

Answer 3

I heard that rumor too. I certainly think Jonny Depp has the acting talent to play Freddie Mercury with dignity and respect. Having Sasha Cohen play Freddie Mercury would be like having Jim Carrey play Jim Morrison (of the Doors) he might be able to do it but it wouldn't look like a serious movie.

Answer 4

Ciao amico mio. Posso confermarti la notizia: Brian May e Roger Taylor (rispettivamente chitarrista e batterista dei Queen), in collaborazione con la Tribeca (Società di produzione cinematografica creata da Robert De Niro) hanno raggiunto l'accordo decisivo per la realizzazione del film sul mio adorato Freddie. Si vocifera che l'attore scelto per la parte sia Deep (ad onor del vero il candidato era, in origine, Sasha Cohen).

Attendiamo sviluppi.

Un abbraccio amico.

Stefano.
