No offense, but dude looks just like a hemophiliac superfortunate "boy of brazil" Senator's gay kid.
No idea whether the guy has any talent or gall...or whether his only gift is slighting his wrists into a curl.
No less than that godawful idea of getting that prick goon Sach Baron Cohen involved in it.
I hope they don't make it if it involves that shithead.
Yours and mine (Our) kids will be involved in wwIII if the public caters to these sentiments.
They're sub-par (that's all it take, go take a look at "SNOOKI" and see what I mean), Jingoist pseusdo-humorists (they ridicule other cultures that even have a striking resemblance to "their own")
No abominations of human oversight should get past Roger Taylor's eyes as far as he would be concerned with the outcome.
The man has money enough.
I hope they respect the integrity of "the dream" enough to forgoe any kind of cheap maukster shitlite-s-ism$
Fuck the suits.
Get Rog + Bri and mack on board since Jim Hutton is dead...if not... (Mother)FUCK this project entirely.
Fuck these incendious schilling schmucks. (Chop chop!)

KEREMY KAPONE WAS ACTING CAMP JUST FOR THAT SKETCH THING he is not Gay as far as i know AND DOES NOT USUALLY LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HE DOES IN THOSE PHOTOS I POSTED
whatever your opinion it's upto you. But i am satisfied Jeremy Kapone will be able to do the job outstandingly. Take a look at my blog, as youcan see i pay close attention to facial feature details for all the cast, and i am familiar with the hundredss of pictures of Freddie and the band, and know JK can look like Freddie at every stage of his career the movie will cover, as can the rest of the band.
And I cannot understand the last part of your post, it makes no sense to me.
for instance what does this mean?
"Yours and mine (Our) kids will be involved in wwIII if the public caters to these sentiments" what sentiments do you mean? your own?

Facials features don't mean shit (sorry to continue putting it bluntly--but that's how it is)
Characterisations are key. Sacha is a joke and another petty effort by QPC or Queen Productions to look like they're on the cutting edge of talent, humor, "hip-ness" and popularity..
...You can see what it has done since their involvment with american idol and the voice etc...
Objects of ridicule.
Cast no namers chosen by the director or better yet, an astute screen writer...otherwise you're looking at a major flop + EMBARRASSMENT on the level of 'SHOWGIRLS' (without the tits and ass of course) or THE COSMOS ROCKS.
Hopefully someone with a keen mind and artistic talent is overseeing this all; rather than the suits who'd rather see children crawl in dismay

I agree he( sbc) is AS GOOD AS IF talentless, as far as this role is concerned,. he is not upto any serious role for he cant convince as an actor.
Facial features are not the case with sacha as he truly does not look anything like freddie, this idea that he does is because of the present cultural state of general dumbness and is born of the fact men with black hair and moustaches are rarely seen nowadays,and he is outrageous but in so much the wrong way Freddies onstage humour was nothing like what sacha has donebut they conclude so he must look like Freddie?? Its plain unthinking. (i find it hard to understand queen themselves likening him to freddie looks wise, and then even saying he can hold a tune!

Jeremy is virtually unkown, but i can see he can act. He won best newcomer in france- he is french and has been in only a few movies, played the lead in his first and then was supporting. as to how he looks he to me has very clear facial features that resemble freddie, and he could be made to look exactly like him, there are so many pluses for him in the role, because i doubt you will find anyone else to come as close to the perfomance i believe he can give. .

BY YOUR SAYING SEE CHILDREN CRAWL IN DISMAY DO YOU MEAN LEAVING THEM CULTURALLY AND ARTISTICALLY FAMISHED?
[/b]This is my hope also but i have reason to doubt that. but if Stephen Frears is involved, i hope he acts like a director and not a paid order taker.[b]

It is true that queen are in a very unique position money wise, and so have the oppertunity to make a very good movie, a work of art, not some run of the mill dumbed down popcorn movie like all todays movies. And because it is FREDDIE I really hope they use their unique POSITION and do not think shorterm and popularist in regards to this area, for it is different, it is not the same thing as sacha baron cohen. It is going to be a gigantic and unavoidable comment on Freddie Mercury, the man and his life, for better or worse, so they got to make it for the better for posterity.

If that is the criteria, then there must be millions of men in india who could play the part. For me it does not work at all, wrong shaped face and too indian looking. Freddie looked more european than indian, more iranian that is.

No I'm not pro Baron Cohen or indeed convinced this film is a good idea. And I'm not at all sure why a person working on it would want to post all this here.
