Apart from Sacha Baron Cohen for Freddie, does anyone know the cast for the upcoming biopic? I have some ideas of who I want to play the other Queen members, but like so many hardcore fans' dreams it'll probably never happen. How about Bill Paxton playing Deaky? And Rowan Atkinson as Brian? And the possibility of Jim Carrey as Roger? Just as an extra character, how about Alan Rickman as Norman Sheffield if he turns up in the story? Rickman is brilliant at playing villains after all... but I'm just rambling.

Omid Djalili will do a double role as Brian/Roger, whereas the role of John will be played by that twat from Top Penis, Jeremy Clarkson. You heard it here first.

Yeah but put Omid Djalili in front of a camera and he puts on a stupid generic middle eastern accent such is his 'range'. I can see Rowan Atkinson as Deacon actually but he loves to play the drums in real life so for him it would be Roger or no one.
Ultimitely it doesn't matter because the film is going to be a massive pile of steaming shit.

You're probably right. Ali G as Freddie Mercury! How about Justin Beiber as Roger

Robin williams could be a nice Old Deaky.
I would cast Jay Mohr as roger
Brian is a hard one.
i think they must cast mostly unknowns

I don't like Baron Cohen, he's too tall to play Freddie.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. That's like saying you don't like Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles because he's sighted.
I don't have a clue who should be cast as the other band members, and it doesn't matter anyway since I'm not the casting director. I do think that if this movie does fail, it will most likely be due to a poorly-written script.

But you wouldn't cast Brad Pitt as Ray Charles (or as Freddie). It's a physique du role thing.

... That's... I'm not going anywhere near that Brad Pitt thing. But the thing is Sacha is playing Freddie. Anyone who's going to take umbrage because they have this, "Freddie is too sacred" attitude has the option to not watch the film when it's released to the public.

I can't imagine the film will do well in the U.S. at all...and the director just doesn't seem like a choice I would have made to do this type of film. And definitely the actor chosen to play Freddie is not going to help the film, so I can't think it'll matter much who fills in the rest of the cast.

What the fuck. I suggested Adrian Brody months ago, and someone called me an anti-semite. There is no justice in this place!

Why would you be anti-semetic for suggesting that?! :D
