From the trailers we seen so far, more Freddie songs have been shown than Brian...killer Queen, Bo RHAP, Champions. The only Brian written song so far is We Will Rock You. What's you're point?

Well done Mike, watching the trailer and retaining information is a good skill.
I'm not sure of your point.
Mine is that Brian written songs are used to fill spaces early on where maybe covers of other artists would be more accurate.
The movie is going to be a big hit, you can tell as it has got people who are not big fans of Queen talking about Queen, at least in my own social bubble.

I think it will be a big hit from what I see...people seem excited about this movie, but how it will do in the US is the Question.

If the film is successful it will surely spawn a sequel.

I'm not sure it will get a sequel, what with the amount of "creative differences", walk outs and long long production time for this film alone.

A sequal including the Magic TOur, Barcelona and the last two albums? no way

I think the thing that concerns me is that they may portray Freddie as a cliche', and downplay his value in the band as a musician. Why does it matter now? I don't the hell know. But it seems to matter very much to me.

Exactly. Maylor try to big themselves up with showing Freddie's solo career as a huge flop and portraying themselves as his saviour. Brian May has an ego problem when it comes to Freddie as he always stood in his shadow

Why are you so concerned with something they MIGHT do when there's no reason to even think that. Would it not make more sense to watch the movie and then decide what they did or didn't do to it.

Two things - one we don't yet know how any of it will play out, even the things in the trailer may get cut or changed, and two Brian has said they didn't have full control over how the film was made, they were consulted and on set for a part of it but they didn't get to make all the decisions.

I wonder if Sun City will be included in the movie. I'd have thought that's something May and Taylor would rather have brought up again.

Indeed.
According to Wikipedia Mr. Bad Guy was released on 29 April 1985. Just a couple of months before Live Aid. A short time to conclude a solo career a flop and arrange a reunion!

We don't know how the movie will play out, of course.
So why try and censor negative interpretations of what we have seen so far?
It's good to have a discussion, isn't it?
(I don't know what has come over me today! - You should see my postings on Queen On-line!)

Brian May has an ego problem when it comes to Freddie as he always stood in his shadow* Yes. It seems like May is hot and cold when it comes to Freddie's memory. Sometimes, he is very real, and seems truly saddened, and it is in these moments that he will speak of Freddie with regret and deep admiration. I even heard him confess once that it wasn't Freddie who was the diva...it was he and Roger...Fred was the one who always brought everyone together. At other times, however, Brian is not so kind, and does seem to be rather competitive about Freddie. I think a lot of folks only see Freddie as the flamboyant, GAY showman. What I was hoping from a biopic is that the world gets to see Freddie as the intensely musical, good natured and creative individual that he was.

the plot was chosen perfectly , now all that matters is the production quality, and acting
