What Should Be the Opening Scene In the Upcoming Freddie Biopic?

Aah you beat me to it.  I was thinking of Freddie in the bathtub composing Crazy Little Thing Called Love :-D

The first scene should be Freddie/Borat saying Paul Rodgers was his favourite singer.

Freddie bending over some young German bloke, nailing him and, once finished, announcing:

"Bring me another - this one's broken!"

Right after the Knebworth concert... when Freddie knew that it was his last time on stage. Heartbreak... then flash back to a pivotal moment in his childhood/early adult years... Opening title: Anyway The Wind Blows

That really had me laughing! Let's tweak that a bit... "Bring me another, darling - I think this one's broken!"

It should start with Freddie jizzing over John and Brian,while Roger is snorting cocaine from Paul Rodgers A##hole.......

brian may driving to a non-descript graveyard, getting out of his car walking to Freddie’s grave then proceeding to urinate over it, while Roger stands behind him counting a bundle of money. Camera pans out for a wide shot (Just in frame, John deacon, gagged and bound in the back seat of the car - it's what Freddie would have wanted.)
We the quickly zoom into brains eye, credits roll, movie begins.

In all seriousness I have the feeling Brian will get the script writer to add a line from Freddie confirming his love of Paul Rodgers.

Freddie during the last months of his life looking back on what he's accomplished. Kind of a flashback scene with "Going Back" playing behind the scene. That would take him to Zanzibar as he and his family a leaving for the UK

why not just open up with a "Hello"

Scene 1

Freddie Mercury, intoxicated and gacked on coke, back at his NYC apartment with the latest man clone he's picked up at his favorite gay club.

Freddie:  "I'm not using no fucking condom."

End scene.

I think it should be a scene from Spring 1964 when the Bulsara family moves from Zanzibar to London in the wake of the Zanzibar revolution.

In my view, while he did spend some time in India at a boarding school, 1964 marked the start of when he started meeting people who would pave the way to the pre-Queen bands..and then eventually Queen...then eventually Live Aid etc. etc.

The same intro as Fight Club, with abstract images turning into brainwaves and electricity in the brain. But instead of zooming out to reveal Edward Norton with a gun in his mouth, it will reveal to Freddy around 1984, with his moustache at full strength, in his It's A Hard Life suit, with a huge cock in his mouth. When the guy bricks in Fred's mouth, Freddy looks directly at the camera and start DEEDEEDOP'ing.  Screen fades to black and the title is revealed "Freddie Mercury - Lover of Life, Sucker of Cocks".

Seriously, an amazing picture could be made from the last 5, 6 years of Freddie's life. From Live Aid until the end, I'd love to see a good movie about the inner struggles he had, the will he had to perform etc etc.

Good forum

Rumour is that the primary era will be 81-85
Good point to start would be coming off stage at Live Aid, then go back to where it all started to 'go wrong'; circa 81-82 when FMs image was well out of focus with America

Freddie's in the African wilderness, wearing a safari suit.  He's pointing a massive elephant gun at some natives.

Freddie's wrists were far too limp to hold a massive elephant gun.

Otherwise, I like where you're going with this.
