Bohemian Rhapsody - 2nd trailer

It doesn't look bad. And it's very possible they just teasing us and using clips which won't appear in the final cut. Trailers are often like that.

Peter Freestone's Q and A online was really enlightening as far as the reasons for eliding and compositing the time periods, among other things.

This will be slagged as official QP pravda, but it is an account from the actual making of the movie.

That's the thing, as I said, The Works did well, and Radio Gaga did exceptionally well. It's been made out over the years, and especially in recent years, that Queen wasn't particularly popular during The Works period, but internal conflicts aside, they were doing fine

Yea, The Works did well from the beginning. Ga Ga was big and I Want To Break Free was a big hit as well. Hard life was a top ten, but not sure how the movie will portray the album.

...and South American tour

I think Lucy Boynton will be a "breakout star" of the move.
There's something about her.. oh.... and her voice is mesmerizing when she's talking to Freddie while doing his makeup.

Rami Malek, i still have doubts about. For example in trailer 2 at 2:01 when he's walking...What is That???? looks like robotic version of Freddie's walks. I hope there are not to many moments of this kind of ridiculous display in the movie.

I've just noticed that Brian's hair isn't curly in the Smile scene. It looks more like a John Deacon hairstyle. I'm going to pretend that this confirms the conspiracy theory that Brian's trademark hair has been naturally straight, all along.

^^ My guess is he used to straighten it out.

If the scene happens in 1970, then it's not too far off from how it looks in the photos from Mike Grose's stint

I think it looks great. I couldn't care less if they changed some details to make a good movie, it looks like they nailed the inter-band behaviour, all looks very natural.

Queen fans are a bit like Star Trek fans, way too geeky and rigid for their own good. Honestly if you could see the amount of discussion that the colour of warp nacelles generates on Star Trek websites, this place reminds me a lot of that.

What about the Dracula impersonation when he's saying "Then you'll need someone new!"

Who is playing Adam Lambert?

What /\ pingfah said.

"colour of warp nacelles"

The only distinction I'd make is that warp nacelles never existed, but Queen did.

A more apt comparison might be Titanic enthusiasts - you ought to see those motherfuckers go.

What's not right with those Stoly, though?
Yep, i'm a slowpoke :3
