Bohemian Rhapsody - 2nd trailer

Freddie muscular? He didn't have muscles.

Once again, the "What if don't have time?" bit was super convincing. Also when he's talking to Bri and Rog at the Smile gig.

I don't think he looks so great in the Live Aid scenes, though. I know at least some of those were filmed on the first days so maybe he was still growing into the part.

I know directors will sometimes play with this and use it to their advantage, like James Cameron having Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's film their nude painting scene from Titanic first to play off their real-life nervousness.
Would have made sense to have Rami do the consumated rockstar scenes towards the end, maybe?
We can only speculate.

I know there are gonna be inaccuracies, but I can live with that. As people have already stated, it's not going to be a film for hardcore fans like us, but for the average person who's probably only heard WWRY, BR, WATC, and AOBTD. I think it's gonna be a great film. Don't go see it if you're just gonna nit pick everything to death.

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.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's a bit what dissapointed me. I hope it's a big hit, it would bring new people interested in the band (something I would expect to happen), and even interested in QZ.

I am not certain I want to see this or not. Just from the trailer, it looks as though they are going to portray Freddie as an obnoxious diva...which, by all accounts, was quite the opposite. Also...is Deacon on board with this? Or is this just Roger and Brian...mostly Brian contributing?

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.


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.


I so agree, and this was a concern to me, and why I wondered if Deacon had any input into this. Roger has always been pretty straightforward about Freddie NOT being the diva, but rather the peacemaker, and silent co-writer of many of the songs.

It's a "based on reality" work of fiction, so they can shorten sequences, combine people into amalgam characters, and take minor liberties with timelines for all I care.

However, don't do a bunch of press telling us how painstakingly accurate you've made it and then complain about nitpickers….

Also of concern: They will focus on his *showmanship* and downplay his musicianship.

As long as it is the Brian show I have my doubts. Brian is very two faced despite his polite image......

Freddie with mustache recording WWRY? How could they fuck up such an easy thing? Are not Brian and Roger the producers anymore? And what's with his early 70's hair? Couldn't they actually find a wig which looks like natural hair?
The guy who plays Brian SOUNDS Exactly like him, where did they find him?
The guy who plays Roger LOOKS slightly like Roger, but sounds nothing like him. Wrong casting in my humble opinion.
Deacon - we haven't seen him properly or heard him at all. Makes you wonder why.

^ doubtless, Deacon will not be addressed by name for legal reasons so they don't have to pay him for his representation ;)




Jk.



Maybe Deacon will be there for comic relief. They'll pull a POLICE COPS on him ala the SIMPSONS. He'll be a variation of a bumbling idiot

*just kidding again.


I love John Deacon.

I will be attending a first screening dressed as a member of the band.

Anybody else in the L.A. area want to participate?

I notice a lot of dislike or distrust of Brian May on this site....

Runner 70.....LOL. you really need too find a new hobby.

I’m shocked they are showing 1983 Freddie in 1977. That is an amateurish oversight. Here’s an idea: maybe watch the video for We Will Rock You. No one from Queen - Brian, Roger, Jim Beach - no one noticed this? Not a good sign.

Other than that I think the second trailer does look pretty cool. Rami looks darn close in several of the shots.

I still think the film should have followed Freddie’s entire life. That’s where the drama was, there’s your Best Actor nomination. The courageous artist who keeps fighting until the end as the heartless paparazzi closes in.

I’m definitely looking forward to the film. I just want it to Freddie justice.

I agree about the We Will Rock bit, but are you sure the Movie doesn't touch on the last few years? That one scene Roger say's Fred You're a Legend seems like it's from his final days.
