Bohemian Rhapsody - 2nd trailer

I had an issue with Freddie's voice in the teaser trailer but not on this one.
The way he delivers the lines after the Smile gig is lovely, goes from very insecure and hesitant ("I also.. I write songs..") to fake confidence when he says they'll need someone new.

But the killer for me was when he says "What if I don't have time?"... Ouch... that's Freddie, right there.
I'm sold.

... although, things like moustached Freddie recording Rock You in 1977 will bother me I'll try to favour storyline, drama and performances over it.

The actor who plays Brian is Brian. He is very convincing.

I hope we get to hear Joe Mazzello's Deacy voice in the next trailer or clip they release. So far he's been 'the silent one' ... as in real life hehe :)..

I also think Joe nails Deacy's facial expressions and smile. Hopefully he and Roger get good exposure and are not there just as filler or comic relief.

Puh difficult one. I guess Brian had too much of a say. Freddie with moustache in 1977? Crowdsurfing? FBG in 1974? '39 on their first tour? Aids diagnosis before Live Aid? Reunion in 1985 ??? Too many history changes for my taste. And Rami could have at least worked out a bit more. He has no muscles. Freddie was way more muscular. His speaking voice is too deep as well. I guess Brian was involved too much. Sure he is bringing the WWRY part in it and it is no coincidence that the "mistakes" happen with Brians songs (FBG/39). He still was and is the DIva of Queen.

Almost with every cut I'm either YEAH! or NAH :(

We'll see. We'll see.

Haha, don't think I saw you post here before, but I do think you're spot on. I mean, how else could it be? With Gwilym Lee doing the (fabulous) acting Brian just may overshadow Freddie in "his own" movie.

In all honesty I liked this trailer more than the first one....Of course it's not gonna be 100% accurate, but I do feel it should be a good movie. Seems like they will touch on his illness and last moments as well. Freddie saying He doesn't have time, and Roger stating Fred, you're a legend looks like after the live Aid era. Should be interesting.

I should say I'm still not sold on Ramek as Freddie...Freddie was small, but bigger if you know what I mean....Ramek looks like he's 14 with a fake Stach.

Queen didn't do many press conferences, right? I'm sure that's added for conflict and brevity.[/QUOTE]

They did a few, but not too many. Maybe ten at most.

And the recreation of the Hot Space one is reasonably accurate.

I think that pic is just of an in store signing session for Hot Space rather than the main press conference to launch the album?

This trailer is not much different than first, some scenes are the same.

" Aids diagnosis before Live Aid"

Aside from all of the other anachronisms, I wouldn't read too far into this one.

Freddie wasn't a dummy, he knew people he'd been with or circulated around were dropping dead, and he had that weird 'I'm not going to make old bones!' thing going on in his head.

As other subscribers, above have previously stated this film is not made solely for dieshard Queen fans, it would not make enough money at they box office, or possibly be as entertaining if the plot was not dramatised. Undoubtedly there will be inaccuracies, for the purpose of plot and drama,but I believe this looks really good and will undoubtedly be an entertaining film, no doubt there will be sad bits also :(

Hi there, like others, there are little things that annoy me (Fred with moustache recording We Will Rock You, Deacy and Bri with cello bows??!!) but I just cannot see Roger saying "You're a legend Fred" at all. Still, in many other ways, it looks like it could be great.

I was wondering about the cello/bass bows on the trailer as well. James Rundle, in his review of the second trailer, states that cello bows were used on the bass for the intro of Death On Two Legs. A wikipedia article also states this. I'd never heard about this. Interesting, if it's true.

The movie is looking more and more interesting to me, Yeah, some variations on reality, but it's looking promising. And I think Rami Malek's voice sounded very convincing when he said.
"What if I don't have time?"

The guy playing Roger is completely off though, imho.

At the risk of being painfully obvious, I am also of the opinion that those expecting accuracy will be disappointed. This is a mass product never meant for the hardcore fans, and this is the best Queen movie you'll ever get in your lifetime. I think this trailer is great and I will enjoy this.
