It's too early to be against it, probably. I bet the music will be outstanding and for that alone it should be worth buying the movie tickets to see it in the theatre.
Sometimes comedy actors can do a really good job with a dramatic role. We will just have to wait and see how he does. I have a feeling he will do very well. I am looking forward to it. I can't imagine that the casting will be very easy to do (for the other parts).

I'm disappointed. I really believed if there were to be a movie, Johnny Depp would be Freddie. I was looking forward to that because that guy can assume any character and, in my opinion, pull it off brilliantly. But, maybe it's just because I'm a fan rather than because he'd actually do justice to Freddie.
Sasha? He's known for satire. It's hard to imagine him giving Freddie's character the seriousness it deserves. I hope we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

I have no problem with sacha playing him. The problem i have is with the script , that its only going to cover queen up until Live aid? Whats up with that? i want the whole story being told even the sad parts at the end of freddies life.
Not to forget all the great songs that came after Live aid, they cant just ignore the last 7 years of his life!

I think it is hard to get past the "Oh, my gosh, that is Johnny Depp" awareness when watching Johnny Depp in a movie. So, even though I think he could play the part very well, and I was hoping he would do it too, people would still be swooning over him as Johnny Depp, whereas, I think that Sasha will be able to leave us imagining that he is a version of Freddie. But who knows. We will have to wait and see. I wonder if Johnny Depp could play a smaller part in the movie - something he could fit in his schedule? Oh, well.
