Johnny Depp will play Freddie, as confirmed in British newspaper The Daily Mail on Sunday 17th December. There doesn't seem to be an article on the internet, but luckily I took a photo and uploaded it to the internet!

Ok, I can not read anymore of P_G's posts while I am eating.
That bloody newspaper had better not be pulling my leg...
I've been looking everywhere for info about this and all I've found was:
"whoever plays Freddie needs to look good in a cheesy moustache" Pfft, I don't think Freddie's moustache was cheesy!
EDIT: I just went on to the Mail on Sunday's website and all I found even remotley related to Johnny Depp was that Keira Knightley and her boyfriend are wearing the same hats as eachother. Why that made the news I'll never know.

Agreed...I can't trust this newspaper article...if it's fact you'd think one of us would have heard it on Queenonline or something...or even Brian May's official website for that matter.
Either way, I hope it's true. Johnny Depp, in my opinion, is perfect for the job. I recently saw both Pirates of the Carribean movies and found his acting to be superb...however, pulling off the late great Freddie Mercury is another story... ;P We shall see... ;)

I don't care who plays it.I just want to see a movie about Freddie or Queen!
The story says Depp 'is in line' to play Freddie - not 'he WILL' - don't get your hopes up too soon.
This article is online but I had to sign up for a "free trial subscription" to see it.
The wording is iffy, maybe, but it also says Depp will be miming to the original vocal recordings. And it names the production company (was this information available earlier?). Is this the sort of newspaper that makes up stories or would they have to have a source?

^ I believe it's the same production company as We Will Rock You...I'm not sure...I wouldn't take my word for it...look it up somewhere. :)
It's the Daily Mail! Surely that should be warning enough. And hasn't Brian already said that that paper prints what it likes?

It just hit me...isn't Johnny Depp still working on Pirates of the Carribean? I think their supposed to be two more of them coming out. In other words,wouldn't he be just a tad bit busy to fit in another movie in his schedule...just a thought...
if jack black can do it jhonny depp can!
Thank god he won't be trying to make a singing career out of it.
