I think this news would make one Queenzone user very happy!

Where's Medusa???

Haha, I know right, i figured he/she would have already posted this... unless they're now running coming soon.net

Total fucking shambles. By all accounts SBC had been going to town with his familiarisation of Freddie for the role and had obviously suggested things that Messrs T & M had not been happy with. Thoroughly depressing as his involvement would have given the film a significant lift. Really not interested now. Stick Adam Lambert in and fucking forget about it now!

Fuck Medusa. PLEASE do not encourage that twat!!

Next stop: development hell!

what will be release first? freddie film or antology of queen?

If they did put Adam Lambert in that role, it would guarantee that no Queen fans would see the movie.

We're more likely to see an album of John Deacon making an unexpected return the limelight with a cover album of Janis Joplin songs, than this.

We still haven't got GVH3 for fuck sake. How hard can that be to produce?

Just stick the videos from Innuendo on a DVD and throw in some solo stuff for filler. If they cant manage that fuck knows how we expect them to produce a movie.

Well, I'm not encouraging medusa however, I'm not unhappy about the news. Frankly, I think there are others who could do far better than SBC....just sayin. AND swla... I would go see it if AL played the part. I'm not a fan of his as you know but I would see it.

At least this probably explains the troubles with the film Brian has been referring to lately.

What a fuckin mess. Wasn't BM recently saying how well it was going?

Someone on this site will be very pleased.......!

Whilst the 'Hollywood machine' will want a 'warts n all' film that reveals the behind the scenes, Brian and Roger have to stick to their guns on this one and make the film that they want, with the story they want to tell - after all. it's their legacy, their life etc...

I personally don't see this ever happening, and to me that's no great loss really - if you want the story of Queen, you can do a lot worse than watching the Days of Our Lives documentary.

As others say, just concentrate on the musical legacy - 5.1 HD mixes, live 70s releases, archive sets, along with new studio material and some live work with credible artists - Brian has too many fingers in too many uncooked pies that he simply loses interest in after a while.

What a shame. This movie is a FREDDIE biopic NOT "The Story of Queen". There is a difference. Sacha would have poured his heart into this role and been phenomenal in portraying a just and compelling tale of his life. As Freddie would say, "warts and all".

Freddie would die a second death to learn his biopic was being restricted to "careful and BORING" - his nightmare.
