Who would play Fred in a movie?

Like I said in other threads:

I honestly just dont think a movie should be dont about him or Queen, thats the mystic behind them...I really in general just dont like those 'music movies' they just really suck to me, dont ask me why, but hey, different strokes for different folks...lol


But:

If there was a movie that they did...I think unknown british actors would fit the movie more, ya know what I mean.

Yeah, I kinda agree with the Brokeback Queen. Forget about the famous Hollywood actors.

I'm gonna be honest, you guys, but even as a devoted Queen fan who would see the movie if it were ever realized - I'm sure it would suck ass. Non-Queen fans would be disappointed because, well, they aren't Queen fans. And Queen fans will be disappointed because of the inevitable deviation from the truth as to attract the non-Queen fans. Even thinking of having people like Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise to play Freddie is ridiculous. I can't see anything more than a low-budget film (if that) coming out of this. I mean, I'd love to be corrected, but that's the way I see it.

There's no need to correct you, dear.

schwarznegger all the way, he could rock on stage and if the audience got rowdy then he could exterminate them and grope all the womens breasts lol nauuughty!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny Depp would be great. I think that would make it a big movie, too.

I agree with the opinion that an unknown actor would do.
Btw, if I were a judge of the audition to decide who would play Freddie, I would make each guy strut and prance around there... :D

A good young Freddie? Johnny is near Freddie's age when he died!

There is supposed to be a Freddie Mercury movie. My mom works for a movie magazine and the guy from Will and Grace is supposed to be playing him (I guess its the guy who plays will in it) and so there you go. I think they could've found someone better though.

Movie shops don't know about what's 'supposed to come out' until it's about to be released on VHS or DVD.

With two or three hours of make-up, we can transform TOM CRUISE in a perfect copy of Freddie! I think Tom is the best actor in the world in this moment! He has worked with Kubrick and Spielberg... So!

Maybe less. I know there's a photo of Freddie from long ago, and when I first saw it, I thought it was Tom Cruise!

Jude Law would make a great Roger Taylor.
Alan Rickman for John Deacon.
I don't know about Brian though.

Howard Stearn for Brian!

Paul Rodgers could play Freddie easily.... JUST KIDDING DON'T GET MAD AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!

I really can't see anyone playing him though, I think if they ever did find someone, I'd see the movie.

I think that Freddie should be played by John Goodman.
