I like how the story was pitched, about Freddie and THE BAND, more towards the music and not gay stories.
The more they introduce the music and the band, the budget must go up, so it is a hard movie to make.

^ and this is precisely why this film is never, ever going to happen. They want to know when to introduce the cocaine for their purposes, not when Freddie started using cocaine or when/if it actually became a problem.
Reality check - he was a diva long before cocaine was brought into the mix (he smashed a mirror over his assistant's head in 1976), and it never got in the way of their performances, so I vote nay on that.
Hollywood wants to Hollywoodize, and the band want it to be genuine. They'll never agree.
Films need plot and villains, and they'll create one as necessary. Prenter is indeed the guy to fill this role, but not from day one.
But - they're in business to make money, not facts.

I'm way more into this than other derivative Queen projects, WWRY musical and QE. FWIW.

Are there people who are still waiting for a biopic about Freddie?
Daniel Nester
Hundreds of millions. Just an estimate :)

Daniel, thanks for digging this up and doing all this research.
One observation: it boggles my mind, and makes one wonder how good their 'quality control' would be, since they can't even spell Freddie's name correctly!!!!

The best thing we could possibly see here would be - 'Freddy film - abandoned'

Always seems to me like the band want to produce a fundamentally dull film because he's "their mate" whereas Hollywood want to produce a movie that'll sell even if it deviates from the truth.
Writing a movie about Freddie Mercury that leaves out the drugs, the sex, the health decline and the personality (bad side as well as the good) you may as well make a biography about Henry VIII and argue that including details on any of the wives would be too salacious.
Whenever I've heard about the movie Brian and Roger want to make, I always think "other than die-hard Queen fans who the hell would want to see that?"
If it's going to get made at all it's going to be exploitative, economical with the truth and rely on exaggerating the dramatic, sad and tragic events of his life. I don't have an issue with that. Sooner that than some absolute snooze-fest that leaves out the parts the general audience would be interested in (sex, drugs, aids, showman) and they just make a movie Brian and Roger can enjoy watching.

If QP want to present a truthful account of Freddie's life, a film with a traditional story structure simply isnt the way to do it.
