>EXCLUSIVE: Bryan Singer is in talks to direct Bohemian Rhapsody, the long-in-the-works movie about the seminal British rock band Queen, with Mr. Robot‘s Rami Malek playing frontman Freddie Mercury. The film is coming back together and is on the fast track at 2oth Century Fox and New Regency with original producer Graham King and his GK Films.
>Fox and New Regency have stepped up for the joint project in the latest maneuver for a movie that has been in development with King for eight years. The most recent script, which focuses on the band and its iconic lead singer, is from The Theory of Everything scribe Anthony McCarten. King and Jim Beach are producers, and Denis O’Sullivan is exec producer. Original Queen bandmembers Brian May and Roger Taylor will serve as music producers. It’s being eyed to shoot early next year.
Apocalypse wasn't horrible. J Law was easily the worst part of it, not Singer.
Also what is it with Singer directing twinks and making movies about faggots

Guess we can't discuss anything that isn't capeshit anymore
Go ahead and change the board to /ctv/ - Capeshit Television & Film

>reddit director making a movie starting an actor from a reddit show about a reddit band that is best known for making the most reddit song ever
This will LITERALLY be Reddit: The Movie. I can already hear the plebbitors cheering the first time there AIDS faggot icon appears on screen.
Dylan Anderson
>reddit I think you might be a little obsessed friend.
Perhaps you should share your frustrations with reddit.

>"Leave the casting for young Freddie Mercury to me"
James Carter
fuck off, Borat is perfect for queen, fucking dumbasses wanted it to be pg 13, so my man borat quit
Jason Gray
Yeah, he could actually sing and honestly looks shockingly like Mercury
Joshua Brown
Also Brian May wanted Freddie to die halfway through and have the second half about how great Queen was without him.
Sacha was in the right for leaving.
Jaxon Turner
Casey Affleck looks a bit like Freddie, dunno if he can sing.
Dominic Lopez
>things that aren't true but i'll share it anyway: the post
Levi Fisher
>Rami Malek playing frontman Freddie Mercury. but why? merucy had incredible presence, rami malek has absolutely none and can only play awkward spree shooter types
i was very upset when i heard that, what the fuck is wrong with brian may, its not like queen did something interesting after freddie's death
Levi Peterson
Casting a dude that looks like Mercury is hard. He was Parsi.
That's literally all studios seem to give a shit about. Find someone who looks about the right part, and hope coaching will carry them the rest of the way.
Hopefully if they do this, they stick to studio releases or hire this guy to do the singing bits: youtube.com/watch?v=dREKkAk628I

hes too ugly to be on television but he has a promising career in cover bands
Tyler Rivera

Nathaniel Nguyen
Christopher Lambert
Wyatt Brown
i'm starting to think that brian doesn't really care about freddie and uses his memory to make queen fans cry, it's curious how in queen concerts he always dedicates songs and shit to him, he knows what the audience's reaction will be. you dont see new order dedicating every song to ian curtis or dave grohl talking about kurt cobain in every foo fighters concert.
James Perry
It does seem like May is cognizant of how Mercury's death pumped new life into Queen. Their popularity was flagging in 1990, especially in the US, before Freddie died.
It was always a working relationship with them. Much like the Beatles. I imagine Queen would have broken up by 2000 if Mercury has not gotten HIV.
Jason Hernandez
>I imagine Queen would have broken up by 2000 if Mercury has not gotten HIV. yeah, that makes a lot of sense actually

Queen ceased to exist after Freddie died.
Fuck Brian May for puppeteering it's corpse all these years.

Ryder Clark
>Also what is it with Singer directing twinks and making movies about faggots
Not sure if bait, but if it is 9/10 you got me. Singer is a huge faggot. Like, parties with naked 17yearold swimmers running around. Not kidding.
David Baker
Queen are one of my all time favorite bands and it just burns my ass that they're making me side with Sacha Baron Cohen....
Levi Bailey
I doubt anyone could outdo SBC. Fuck May for ruining that dream.
Blake Collins
Brian May is half the creative brain of Queen; he wrote a lot of their most famous songs. As usual with bands, the frontman outshined everyone else even after his death so he probably developed inferiority complex and wanted to make the film into an "actually, we all mattered in Queen guys".
Leo Roberts
Is this what Malek will look like playing Mercury?
Tyler Flores
stop whining, this isn't your safe space

James Cook
I want to see plebbit sperg out on the fact that he's a WHITE (((Egyptian))) playing a British Indian from Tanzania who is not black

He probably can't sing for shit... what the fuck is the rationale here??
Wyatt Stewart
>Guess we can't discuss anything that isn't capeshit anymore Queen is the movie version of capeshit. Only reddit plebs and normies like both.

I didn't say that. I said the quality of this film's subject matter is on par with the crappy superhero films.
