I think they want a movie about Queen, not just Freddie, so main plot of the movie will be or was before he's last days, or else Freddie would take a lot more screen time and secondly those guys are well educated enough to respect he's private life even after death, just like Freddie keep it to his death.
I don't think Freddie wanted he's public to see all the suffering in the end.
Bullshit story. Brian and roger are not that stupid an know perfectly well the absolute importance of Him.
Didnt brian suffer for years with depression... So it must be roger who wants the after period being documented in the movie..
Reallt?
"I think they want a movie about Queen, not just Freddie,"
Which makes them stupid old decrepit, moronic, disillusion tossers.
This movie can be really good you just have to place the events in the right places... Like said the climax can defiantly be Live Aid but all this Freddie dying in the middle is not an award winning movie (which it doesn't have to be) the movie should be built on how the Days Of Our Lives docu. But without the whole Queen + it should end with the Freddie tribute show. Brian May and Roger and Jim beach have to look at this in a realistic point! Queen ENDED when Freddie died.. They have to face the truth with that!
It's on the interwebz, so it must be true. Just as everything written about Queen before was true. As far as Brian is concerned, I ask you: IS THIS MAN A PRAT????
Unfortunately I had to type this in an HTML-form. I would have much preferred the backside of an airline motion sickness bag.
Instead of a biopic they should do a sci-fi movie with the soundtrack of Queen. Like a re-worked version of We Will Rock You a la Hollywood.
Rather see it instead some actors playing the roles of the band members.
Seeing the crappy releases the last 20 years I truly believe they(BM-RT) want to focus half of the movie after Freddie's death.
It definitely makes senses what Cohen said and I believe it 100 percent. Very sad!
I hate (at least figuratively) to admit it, but it fits exactly with the way Queen has been portrayed in the past years.
In Brian's eyes Freddie was a member for less than half of the band's existence, and without Freddie holding them back they've reached into new heights with Adam Lambert.
Those views have been published in their own press releases, and even the most die-hard stepfords will have a hard time spinning that black into white.
Sad but true.
I saw a clip on the news today of black haired Brian in a smart jacket playing his guitar in the presence of George Martin, brought a smile to my face. Remember him?
If Brian and Roger were producers on the Sound of Music the Von Trapp's would have fled Austria from the Nazi's about 15 minutes into the film and the rest of the movie would be about how they settled in America after. Just 2 and a half ours of Georg looking for work and coming back of an evening and having his tea.
Seems a shame that it appears they want to ensure what should be a movie of the life of one of the most interesting celebrity figures of the 20th century into a promotional tool for their ongoing 'Queen+' projects.
Of all four Queen members (who, it goes without saying, were extremely talented), Freddie Mercury was the one that shone the brightest by far - he's up there in the upper echelon of rock stars. And all in all, the character from the group who was the most entertaining, and the one who people (mostly) watched on stage, and the one who people are most interested in, even now. Surely Brian and Roger know that.

Yeah they watched him but only when performing in "Queen"
"You must be stupid, very stupid! "
I'm sure you're very smart, you f'n idiot
The fact a band exists and is successful isn't cause enough for a bloody movie. If it is then I've just had an idea for 30 movies - you take the 30 biggest bands of the last 30 years and you make a movie out of each one - there, royalty cheques in the post please Hollywood
Freddie's life story is interesting. His journey from an Indian boarding school to becoming one of the most charismatic performers and renowned musicians of the 20th Century who then went on to become among the first high profile celebrities to die of AIDS. Add in turbulent love affairs, the contrast between the public and private persona and you've got a gem of something worth making a film about.
Instead it looks as if the film will climax with the dramatic decision as to precisely who'll be cast to play Scaramouche in the musical, with Freddie dying about six minutes in.
The original idea was good. I'd be interested in a Queen movie that perhaps starts in the late 60's, perhaps focusing on Freddie's prior bands, meeting Smile then leading up to the formation in '70 and John Deacon joining in' 71,then some dramatisation of recording sessions and early tours, culminating in the mega Live Aid show or even the Magic tour. I'm sure they could think of enough funny /touching moments that actually happened on the road without having to resort to a sordid sex and drugs biopic, but sadly that's what sells a movie these days. Some might say that would be boring but I've no interest in what Freddie or the other three got up to behind closed doors, and I've certainly no interest in Queen+, the musical, or Adam Lambert.
