Let's see if this works (I can't believe I'm going through this much trouble).

It DID work, thank you!! LOOK at the similarities there -- God, how FRIGHTENING -- Freddie didn't pinch that look, did he??? (I forgot what year Edward Scissorhands came out -- forgive the brain fart!! LOL)

The second one...OHHHHH MY GOD!!!

Greg Kinnear. Or Bob Crane...if he hadn't had his head smashed in by that fiend Carpenter.
The question that remains poised on everyones lips is who would play John, Brian and Roger? Yeah, think about it.

Edward Scissorhands came out in 1990.

I don't think my friend, who is completely, totally, scarily, almost stalker-like obsessed with Johnny Depp, could handle him dying, even in a movie. She freaked out at the end of "From Hell" because he died.

Those were great picture comparisons. I guess it's Johnny as Freddie then. I don't think the movie should show Freddie dying; he can look sick and die offscreen; way too depressing otherwise.
The guy who played Hitler was a great actor named Robert Carlyle. (The guy from The Full Monty, also.) He could play Roger. The handsome Will & Grace guy can get a wig and play Brian.
John Deacon casting still open.
I love casting imaginary movies. Plus, there can be cameos! Y'know, someone to play, like, Elton John at a party.

Jimmy Dean
Why does everyone say Johnny Depp?...he doesn't look like Freddie at all!
If anyone is to play Freddie it would have to be a punch-up between Robert Carlyle, as someone had pointed out or...Guy Pierce (Memento, LA Confidential). I'm gearing more towards Guy Pierce...very similar features, minus the teeth.

Daburcor?
SergeantPepperDG, That second comparison shot was good enough to make me agree that Depp may be able to play a decent Freddie. Though, I doubt anyone could do his accent justice. ;)

I'm sure that Johnny Depp could pull it off really well (although, I know no one could be Freddie). Have any of you ever seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? Here's how Johnny Depp got into character:
"Depp was given access to every memento the writer [Hunter S. Thompson] saved from his 1971 trip to Las Vegas. The actor read through the writer's notebooks (which included an unpublished chapter entitled, "The Coconut Scene," which Gilliam placed in the film) only to realize that "the freakiest thing was that it was all real, that the reality was as insane as the book." He rummaged through Thompson's wardrobe at the time: Hawaiian shirts, a patchwork jacket, a safari hat, and a silver medallion given to him by Acosta. Thompson graciously allowed Depp to wear it all in the film. Thompson even let Depp borrow the red shark: the giant fired engine red convertible that the author took to Vegas, which was also used in the film.
All of these items only to enhance Depp's performance. In the film, he has literally transformed into Duke/Thompson, complete with the man's unusual bow-legged walk, sweeping arm movements, mumbling speech pattern, and the trademark Dunhill cigarette's in a holder between clenched teeth. It's an incredible performance which transcends simple mimicry.
Depp's research culminated after a week when Thompson shaved almost all of the actor's hair for the film and entrusted him with the very car he used in the trip...."
I don't even know why I'm making a big deal about this... It's not like there are even RUMORS of a movie.

Excellent! And Milos Forman directing. I loved his biopics of Larry Flynt and Andy Kaufman. I believe some people also enjoyed his film 'Amadeus' :-P
Much as I hate Johnny Depp (nothing personal.. I'm just tired of seeing him in *everything*) I'd have to agree he's got/can achieve the right look.
