Will be interesting to see how Brian/QPL respond to this

The audacity to claim PTSD!

http://nordic.ign.com/m/movies/7770/news/bryan-singer-no-longer-directing-queen-biopic

"Singer has claimed he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the tensions on the set"
A Hollywood director suffers from PTSD which is more common among combat soldiers, war journalists, rape victims and refugees (etc) ... He must have had heavy battles to fight !

I suspect all those allegations that Singer has had fired at him would be sending him over the edge.... especially if they were true!

His sacking has got to do more with studio execs distancing themselves with Singer, cutting their losses while they still can. They obviously knew about his tendencies to disappear amid ongoing productions yet they continue to hire him. Something is brewing and his legal team are definitely working themselves overtime.

Even the Beeb is reported it:

Singer was hired due to his blockbuster "X-Men" films and the critical darling that was "The Usual Suspects." Hollywood will deal with quite a bit if you deliver the goods.

I would say that the stated excuse for his dismissal sounds like BS to me. I suspect the producers are wary of Singer's past and fear new allegations would sink their box office and obvious Oscar hopes and so cut their losses early.

This film WILL be finished. They've spent too much money already to even think otherwise.

If only Queen had a long history of cobbling together finished product from rough unfinished footage.

*calls in DoRo*

That whole movie is one big disaster and Will be a big Joke. QP thinks everything they touch turns to gold.. Hahaha not in this World. They sacked director after director and actor after actor. Time to face the truth QP.....

We all know what “ the great pretender doc” and “ Days of our Lives doc” did without them interfering- succes!

Please Beach, Taylor and May.... tell the whole story of Freddie , with the Bowles of cocaine, parties, etc, and not butterflies and fairietales like Sasha Cohen used to say working six years on that movie .

Bryan Singer's offices shut down
The move follows the director's firing from 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'

Bring in Terry Gilliam to direct.

Then i'll watch it.

Whatever the reason for sacking him, they have way too much money invested in this now to let it go, Directors come off films all the time, a number of the big Superhero films have had multiple Directors and major re-shoots, doesn't mean it won't happen, they will get it sorted and I would imagine start filming the last two weeks after Christmas

It is all due to Rami Malek's bad singing voice. One of the production big bosses said "This singer is going to ruin the movie. We have to get another one".

A manager misheard that and fired Bryan Singer to please the boss.

It happens in business all the time. Tough luck.

Cheers,
