Sorry Johnny.

Why do people keep thinking Johnny Depp would be the right actor to play Freddie Mercury in a film about Queen? He's way too old!!! He's already older now than when Freddie died!!!! Sure, there are CGI techniques to make actors look younger (see X-Men 3) but, c;mon...seriously. Any film about Freddie would surely need to show him at some point (even in flashbacks) in his late twenties (Freddie was already 27 when the first Queen album was released)...and as good as Depp looks for a man his age (46), he cannot pull of playing 28 or 29 years old..or even mid 30's.
So, please, enough with the Johnny Depp to play Freddie requests. On top of that, sure, he does English accents, but I think any actor that plays Freddie should already be English. I think it should be an unknown actor if they ever do a film based on his life.

I think that Johnny Depp would make a great Freddie, especially when he had long hair. I just hope that he doesn't sing and mimes instead.

[i]And especially cos he is also gay.

Depp's not gay. He's married to Vanessa Paradis and has two children.

Is that proof? Don't forget, Elton john was married to a lady once too!!!

Is this movie actually happening ? Cos I heard that the idea was scrapped

i've never heard about a news about Queen movie, but i think it will be great! just a little suggestion, Lucas Grabeel can be the cast of Roger Taylor; Lucas quiet looks like young Roger except the hair

Far far more likely "We Will Rock You" will be made into a movie first.
mooghead
Will not happen. Get it out of your head. It has only been 'proposed' by the fantasists on this board (of which there are many). Nothing to see here....

Brian in an interview the other day at Bristol Hippodrome, Said that "We Will Rock You" is in the works at the moment. Ben has elaborated on the script, making it adaptable for the big screen. If "Mamma Mia" can work on the big screen, I think "we Will Rock You" will, as long as they don't cast Pierce Brosnen, Meryl Streep & Julie walters into the roles. Shudder to think of Julie Walters going on about her Scary Bush. lol.

Don't worry, they wouldn't be able to afford a Pierce Brosnan.
And I don't think he'll be wanting the part either.
Maybe they could get someone cheap like Keir Dullea or the guy that played John Boy on The Waltons. I bet they could use some work.

Lucas Grabeel doesn't look like Roger! And I definitely can't see the closeted gay from High School Musical playing Roger! Besides, he wouldn't look old enough for the later parts. Unlikely as it is, I think his son Rufus could do a good job playing him, looks-wise.
I'd love for someone to make this movie, (considering the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, The Supremes, and Johnny Cash already have movies) but I really don't think it's going to happen, at least anytime soon. Brian seems to be busy with foxes, black holes, and stereo photography, not to mention the WWRY movie that I think probably [i]will[/i] happen, and Roger is.... well... I don't what he's doing but he seems to be lying low. Frankly, I'd love to see Deacy come from behind and produce the entire movie! [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
It'll be ironic if they make WWRY, considering it's riding on the success of Mamma Mia, which is named after the song that knocked Bo Rhap off the charts!

The fact is, if there ever was a movie to be made it would have happened by now, as each day passes interest in Queen and Freddie is on the wane. Can somebody please copy this whole thread so that it can be pasted into the next 'Queen Movie' thread.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Remember that these actors cannot be much over 30 if they want to play the young guys as well.
except for Depp of course.. his daily injections of pure money do not allow him to get older.
