Sasha Cohen to play Freddie Mercury in upcoming movie

[Meule]

He was a very private person

Freddie Mercury? Didn't he throw some of the wildest parties back in the days? At least that's what've always heard. Wouldn't call that private. In fact, I'm sure he'd love the idea of a movie about him

Am I the Only 1 , who will never see this ?

I'm not a huge Mercury/Queen fan but I do want to see it ... Only because I like watching Rock and Roll "true" story movies.

I'm not a big Michael Jackson fan but I love the American Dream mini-series

In a theatre...Nah...I probably won't, either. BUT...I've always loved catching these kind of events on cable when the weather is crap outside.

Gotta love a somewhat interesting couch-movie.

I think it should just be left alone. It might work out, but there's a higher chance that it won't, in my opinion.

Yes but he would want to star in it.

No doubt on voice overs in songs but I agree that Cohen seems like the type of actor that could make it work.

Most of his movies to date are from characters he made up doing D.Ali show. He isn't a completely corny actor and I think he could do a good job with this.
