I think Jon Cryer as John would be perfect. But I don't they are gonna use rutger haur as Roger especially since he is 40 years older than Roger would be in the movie.
Personally I think Gabourey Sidibe should play Brian. Look her up and tell me what you think ;)

I was joking about rutger

Tu Pac as Brian May Jack Black as Roger Taylor Arnold Schwarzenegger as John Deacon Gabourey Sidibe as Mary Austin and finally................
Samuel L. Jackson as Freddie

I think William Shatner with a shocking blond wig would make a great present-day Roy Thomas Baker.

Sasha Cohen is excellent and will probably do very well in this . However, the only films about musicians or bands that actually stand up to close scrutiny and are of any value are The Buddy Holly Story (with an incredibe performance by Gary Busey) and Oliver Stone's The Doors. The Johnny Cash film was just okay. Others about The Beatles, The Monkeys, hendrix, Elvis etc have all sucked, so I wont be holding my breath waiting for the Fred movie.
Is it too early to place bets on how good/bad it might end up? Personally I'm hoping for better than the Joan Jett movie that was just done ...

Though i was hoping for a serious acting choice rather than popularity attempt (with Borat)
Fred: Sacha Baron Asshole. (Instead of the rightful choice Natasha Bedingfield)
Rog = (Only Cause Rue McClanahan has since passed) Bri = Orlando Bloom...or Ludacris if Orlando's unavailable.. (Only cause i can't think of another "Queen" who would meet the match) John....
well... john could be played by a CGI character.

What do you mean a serious acting choice,just because someone plays comedy characters(characters who are extremely well crafted) doesn't mean they aren't a serious actor. I think the fact that you don't take Sacha Baron Cohen as a serious acting choice goes to show just how good he is.

Well you may have had a point, if it was hard at all to keep from smiling or cracking up during his schtick...
BUT(!) hell, just watching his films, i kinda had the same response. I hardly broke a smile either... big deal. Tepid crap and marginally "shock" stuff seems to somehow pass off as comedy these days... woo hoo!
But yea, that's what i'm afraid of. Giving the douchebag some credibility.
Well,... no sense in lying about it. ...BUT.. the guy is like ten feet tall (compared to Freddie Mercury)... oh well... whoever gave it the green light... ya never know. On the PLUS size... he probably wouldn't find it hard at all to make out with other dudes (if the film calls for that)... so maybe you have a point.
This might create a revival...with a bad film. Kinda like "walk the line" (which wasn't so great) did for Johnny Cash.
I keep forgetting that week after week, weak things perform well at the box office so,... yes, you're right i may have underestimated both the ability and box office potential. But that's cause it sounds dreadful.
As for the bias...yeah, i think it was clear by calling him an asshole. That's hardly impartial. :)

If only Anita Dobson had met Brian before 1985 , she could of played herself in the film, if they were to include family life
