It's turning into a great big steaming pile of shite as some predicted it would. Stand by for the obligatory soapbox update "Biopic put on hold"

The link doesn't work by the way.

I just corrected your link. How many years are they working on the biopic? Do they think that ANYBODY will care for it when they decide to actually DO IT?

This is freddie intervening!

I gues this is because of John Deacon incists they will hire Silverster Stalone to be his character in the movie !

Didn't Freddie tell jim beach not to make him boring well this movie sounds pretty boring

I think there's divine intervention here ! A Freddie biopic will not interest an international audience, downscale I say, make a TV docudrama and try and sell it to various countries.

Please release more anthology albums / concerts in stead of this biopic.
Also some more instrumenals / a capellas are more than welcome...

Nice one!

Anyway, just the fact that the movie would stop in 1985 makes it worthless to me.

Really? I can tell you the main points for the final six years of Freddie's life so you don't have to guess how it all ended...

The last thing the world needs is "Freddie Mercury - The Re-Told Story" AKA a collection of the most famous moments of Freddie's life interpreted by an actor.

Since that's what they are trying to do, I sincerely hope this movie never makes it into actual production.

Also the band wants it PG to get a bigger audience but Freddie's life was NC 17

It's my opinion respect it. If you cover Freddie's life you don't just cover the good moments but the bad as well. Aids was part of Freddie's life you can't deny it.
