Sacha Baron Cohen to play Freddie

whoever really believed this needs to be hit over the head with a tack hammer...

I think that guy from The Mighty Boosh would make a good Freddie, well a 70s one anyway!

According to this mornings Daily Mirror he's beaten the likes of Johny Depp to the part.

Sounds a bizare choice, sure he could pull off the extravert funny side of Freddie, but playing a man dying of Aids must be something beyond his limited acting abilities. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]

Fantasy from a tabloid!! I read the Mirror but sure as hell don't beleive everything it says.

I remember them saying that Dougray Scott had been chosen as the next 007 and we all know what happened about that!!!

I'll wait and see what develops.

But I see myself sitting in the cinema mumbling: "Oh no it was not like that at all .. this is the wrong year... this is the wrong place" etc etc. Maybe we will have a thread "The 1001 mistakes in the Freddie biopicture" on Queenzone.[/QUOTE]

Isn't that the truth hun!
I do that already with some stuff, as I'm sure many of us die-hard fans do...

And whoever suggested Vince from THE MIGHTY BOOSH would be an amazing 70's looking Freddie! haha
