Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury

>Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury

WHY

why not?

Because, sadly, Sacha Baron Cohen passed on the role.

based rami

I'd fuck him.

>get me the most popular faggot for the 16-29 demographic
>>yes Mr. Golbergenstein, I know just the guy

it works

...

Why didn't they get that guy from those bbc shows? I forget his name, but he was the goth guy in The IT Crowd.

They did a shit job transferring him into game model. I don't understand why 3D modelers do that.

close enough

wasn't there some kind of disagreement between him and members of the queen as to some conflicts in the band at the end of Freddie's life?

I think he looks like him, then again I don't look at pictures of Freddie Mercury too often and I think queen is fucking garbage

Mercury is an overrated hack

It wasn't as much of him passing on the role as it was Brian May being a cunt about it.

>sign up to play Freddie Mercury in a biopic
>Brian May wants to kill Freddie off at the 45 minute mark and make the rest of the movie about Queen trying to pick up the pieces

Look man, we all know why Queen is such a beloved band, and it ain't your admittedly great guitar playing.

I saw the video of him doing a pitch-perfect motion-for-motion remake of Freddie’s performance at Live-Aid and I don’t doubt him at all.

He's legitimately one of the most vocally talented performers in the last 100 years, you can dislike the music but you're objectively wrong if you think he isn't a good singer.

Back to Sup Forums with you

Queen are shit

Queen, the surviving members, got all pissy that SBC wanted to make the movie mostly about Freddie himself instead of the 'band' Queen
As if they were anything truly special without Freddie

good singers are a fucking dime a dozen, the world is overflowing with them

most great musical artists aren't great singers because at the end of the day singing isn't a huge part of what makes music good

Basically, the surviving members of Queen didn't want anything in the movie that could make them or Freddie look bad. They wanted to gloss over, edit, or leave out a lot of the real stories that could've actually made a really good movie, and just make a commercial for themselves instead

The producers wanted to make it more of a realistic look at the band, particularly Freddie Mercury cruising the gay nightclub circuit, whereas the band (who has final say over the end product due to their contracts) want it to be more of a bubblegum love letter to the band's legacy.

This. Queen is absolutely nothing without Freddie.

You're fucking wrong on all counts

isn't this movie canceled?

And that’s the way to go with this movie, who the fuck would want to watch Freddie trolling for cock all movie? Inb4 some faggot tries to say he would watch a movie about Freddie’s hunt for cock.

I fucking love Queen. Grew up listening to their music. That being said, queen ended in 95 with Made in Heaven, I'm not really sure it needs a movie.

It was May and Taylor. Based Roger Deacon wants nothing to do with their bullshit either

>Director: Bryan Singer

Name a bigger hack than singer

YOU'LL BELIEVE A FROG CAN ROCK

I don't listen to the opinion of fucking Queen fans on music

Brett Ratner

Not anymore.

It's John Deacon fyi

Vincent Gallo

underage

>JUST A PRANK BRO

he looks nothing like freddie. he looks like he owns a deli or some pizzeria. and hes too skinny. honestly looks like some italian slimeball

>good singers are a fucking dime a dozen, the world is overflowing with them
I wish this were true

He's a closer resemblance than whoever they got to play Brian in the background

Isn’t that the brown kid that is always doing those short videos on his Facebook ?

Noel Fielding? What are you smoking, how would he fit

>actor in a musician biopic can't sing or play like the musician
trash
