Malek is amazing and the surviving members of Queen had lots of input, so I have high hopes

Hard to say, Malek is the biggest name and hes hardly household. Probably good news, really.

"mumble mumble corporations"

"What's that, Freddie? We're on in five."

I wonder if John Deacon essentially vanishing will be covered, or if it's pretty much just Freddie.

He left/was fired because he disagreed with the direction of the film. The band wants to depict Freddie dying halfway through the movie and the latter part of the movie to show how they carried on without him. Cohen wanted the entire movie to focus on Freddie.

I agree with Cohen, because Queen really didn't do much of anything after Freddie's death. Most of my interest went away after Cohen left, because he was the best choice for Freddie.

Not a bad actor choice but I had hoped for Dan Radcliff. "Harry Potter and the AIDS crisis" would have been a fun movie.

How is he "amazing"?

There only two shots on him saying one line each, and they rest of the time are just quick cuts of them walking around.

He may very well be amazing in this movie, but we haven't seen amazing yet. So stop it!

This may shock you

but Rami Malek has been in other things >_>

I said hes amazing, not that his performance is an Oscar lock

That's good news for the movie, I guess.
The friction between Deacon, and May and Taylor afterwords could be some interesting drama.

Correct.

Im just not sure what the point of this exchange was. I never said his performance in this movie was amazing, because its too early to tell. I said HE is amazing.

Not only that but he wanted to show the gritty aspects of Mercury's life like the drugs and sex. The other band members wanted to paint a pretty picture and sweep all that other stuff under the rug.

I don't doubt Malek will do a great job but SBC would have just knocked it out of the part.

Described as a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Idk, that sounds about right to me. Live Aid feels like a great finale.

Sounds like itll be a great as a movie about Queen but a little reductive as a biopic about Freddie.

I get it, tbh. I wish it was deeper, but Ive played with the surviving members of Queen before and they are fiercely protective of both Freddie and the Queen image. They probably want it to be more of a celebration than a gritty exploration of his struggles.

Awww, that's too bad.

Ending it with an emaciated Freddie wearing the 'cat vest' would have been a hell of a closer, and possibly even oscar bait.

It seems to me that they're more concerned with protecting the Queen brand than relating the truth, though. Brian and Roger are sellouts. I think John realized that a long time ago.


lmao shut the fuck up

theyre old dudes whod rather make a fun tribute to the history of their band (they were there before Freddie) instead of another documentary about Freddies illness that he wanted to keep private

Bingo imo

Im not pretending theyd even remember me if I walked in the door, but I have worked with them and this seems much more in line with who they are.
