Rami Malek looks great, I mean, not an exact Freddie Mercury copy, but on the trailer, he seems to capture his essence nicely. The rest of the actors playing the Queen band members looked pretty good too.
I’m glad it wasn’t Sacha Baron Cohen, as he was way too tall to play Freddie.
Yeah...but not only way too tall, but Brian May always felt Cohen was too famous, he eventually wanted a lesser known actor. Also...Cohen radically wanted to make a totally different movie, make it darker, a hard R-rated fair...focusing more on Freddie’s promiscuity than his on stage career. Cohen clashed with Queen members and producers on this.
Queen’s crowning moment...stealing the show at Wembley Stadium during Live Aid.
BTW, many don’t know this...but Led Zeppelin played on the American Live Aid counterpart concert, and they were gawd awful...Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were utterly apologetic and embarrassed by this, year’s later...
