for years Sacha Baron Cohen tried to make a Queen movie with himself starring as Freddie. it would have been a real deal, heavy biopic. drugs, orgies, sexual identity issues, ect.. but the band hated it and felt the movie should focus more on how they carried on after freddies death.
so i can only assume this movie is prob a lazy puff piece.

I’m sure Malik did an awesome job but it’s a damn near impossible task to pull off Freddie Mercury or any larger than life personality like that from the ‘80s or later simply because we’ve all seen the real thing in his prime.

I can pull up a great hd video of the Live Aid concert right now so it’s tougher to recreate that. If it was Elvis or Jackie Wilson, for example, there would be much more value in a movie “bringing it to life” because the media quality wasn’t nearly as good back then.

This seems likely from the trailer.

Except that’s nowhere close to the plot.
