We Will Make Sexy Times With You
The Borat as Freddie Mercury rumors are back! But this time Deadline Hollywood swears on their TOLDJA! trademark application that Sacha Baron Cohen will slip into an assless Spandex onesie (bitch already has a few in his closet) to play the crotch thruster of all crotch thrusters in a Queen biopic. Sacha's rep shot down this rumor a couple of few years ago, but Deadline says that it's real this time and production will star next year. The script is being written by Peter Morgan who wrote The Queen and Frost/Nixon.
The surviving members of Queen have licensed their songs for the movie. Deadline's sources aren't sure if Sacha is going to try to achieve the impossible by replicating Freddie Mercury's voice, or if he's simply going to move his mouth to the track.
My emotions aren't sure where to go on this one. I mean, this could be as good as dating someone who works at the Hostess factory (FREE SNO-BALLS...in more ways than one) or as disappointing as running out of lube and olive oil right before you're about to get some.
But I would be all about a Queen biopic if the one man who was born to play Freddie Mercury was cast as him. I'm talking about John Stossel, of course:
John Stossel in spandex? That sight would make Barbara Walters lose her lisp! It's obvious that John Stossel's moustache and Freddie Mercury's moustache are one. Soulstaches forever.

Here's some information on Joseph Russo, the frontrunner of "Almost Queen" taken from the Almost Queen website. Apparently he can act too.
Lead singer Joseph Russo, is also a veteran of the Broadway stage, and has performed in several Broadway tours throughout the world. He and the other Almost Queen members Steve Leonard, John Cappadona, and Randy Gregg flex all of their musical chops in proudly presenting to you the penultimate live Queen concert.
the best outcome of this news would be an uptick in Queen sales.
i'm in the middle of a Queen binge right now!

@AMF: That dude is pretty good, but they would never use a total unknown like that because they have to be able to sell the movie. Not to mention, how good of an actor is he once he gets off the stage? Who knows...

Remember, the early bird may catch the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese...
There's a difference between being a raging flamer slut and coming out--which he never did, like a real man would've. I don't see why you're acting so bitter and stupid when its not like you knew him, or like you don't make fun of other people on this site all the time. You can dish it out but when anybody says something negative about one of your false idols, you get all butt-hurt. I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are. Its not like he's going to thank you for having his back one day so get over yourself. I stand by what I said. He was too ashamed of himself to come out. Fucking random guys without condoms and admitting that you have AIDS a few days before you crap out is not coming out. I like Queen and Freddie but I'm not going to pretend he was this great role model or hero, like some delusional people want to make him out to be. He was a negative example of what it is to be a homosexual man--a blatant stereotype that the rest of us will have to fight the rest of our lives. I never attacked his talent, only his character, like many of you do to Madonna and so on and so forth.
Queen are handsdown my all time fav band and Freddie was God back in the day (that pic of him up there is mmm mmm) so I hope SBC doesn't fuck it up. Granted, Freddie was really camp at times but he was also shy and introverted in interviews etc and very private about his life, although very well known in all the gay circles. It'll take someone really good to not make this a hell-on-wheels project.
But Freddie had a very posh accent along with SBC so that's a good start, at least!
I was 20 when Freddie died, it took me months to be ok again.
________________________________

I LOVE QUEEN!!!! I hope he surprises us all and does a great job.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
If he commits to it, like others have said, he might be damned good. If that was his real voice in Sweeny Todd, we might be disappointed in his singing. Unfortunately, I have the feeling he's going to be more like Bruno with a band behind him...like an ultra campy Rob Halford in spandex and exaggerated expressions.
I'll be honest: I didn't know Freddy Mercury was bi or gay until a few years ago. All I knew as a kid was I loved his voice. That voice had power.
Oh, yeah, and a big fuck you to Zanzibar for canceling a celebration on what would've been his 60th birthday because of opposition from people who follow Sharia law.

Yeah, that's really a portrait of a man hidden deep in the closet. Dumb fucking bint. It was not Freddie Mercury's job to be some type of representative for all gays; it was his job to be a fucking kick ass singer and frontman, which he did better than anybody. He was Zoroastrian and that played into some of his reservations about "coming out". It was his fucking life to do as he pleased.

Joseph Russo from the Queen tribute band "Almost Queen" looks and sounds ALMOST exactly like Freddie Mercury. Though he's from New York, he puts on Freddie's accent perfectly when he's speaking. He becomes Freddie Mercury on stage. He even plays piano just like Freddie did. Check it out:

His mother said her son never came out. I believe her more than a couple of bitches who spend too much time on a gossip web site: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/articl...
When he told NME in March 12, 1974, "I am as gay as a daffodil, my dear!" he was only kidding around. He may have been very flamboyant but he never admitted that he took it up the ass--which is how he got AIDS btw. so no, fuck you.
Letting numerous strangers sodomize you in a bathhouse does not count as coming out.

WhiskeyTango - Yeah I think you hit it right on the head... SBC has kind of played a "type" so long that it's hard to think of him outside of that so people worry he won't do the role justice and will just keep playing the fool.

Bruno aside, SBC is actually a pretty decent talent, and like some have said, he's DEDICATED. I was kind of impressed with his Sweeney Todd performance.
ah good point, I'd forgotten about Sweeney Todd. He may yet do a decent job; I don't think he's one of those actors that's going to be typecast in the same role for the rest of his life (e.g., Michael Cera).

Wow - that picture of Freddie is just gorgeous! Aside from the jutting teeth, which I know he was very self-conscious about, Freddie was quite the handsome man (with a beautiful personality to go with it).
As for Sacha imitating his voice, it won't happen. NO ONE will ever be able to imitate that voice. No one. His voice was perfect.

zactly neurotic!
I think the director is more important than the casting, been trying to think of who (alive) that would do this justce. the 'not there' pic was too long and needed somes serious editing, & maybe no richard gere (seemed gratuitous) & it would have been tighter & better.

I think people should be allowed to live and die their own lives without having to 'represent' or be an icon or idol or inspiration. Image is usually bullshit anyway.

I don't like Borat.
Never been into Queens.
But g'luck to this project. Seems like there are passionate fans from both sides and I'd hate to see them disappointed.
I think we need more auto-biographies on rock legends, so if this is a success, we'll hopefully get more of those.
I would love to see the biography genre change a little too. It needs to evolve for sure if it wants to attract more moviegoers.
"I'm not there" was not a bad film, but too difficult to access due to its desire of being artsy.
It seems that every time Hollywood attempts to tell the story about a music legend, they end up making it too pretentious instead of entertaining, for fear of messing with 'the legend' behind the picture.

-------------------------------
STFU...first of all, you don't know what you're talking about. Freddie was out and never denied being gay. He kept it ambiguous to add to the band's mystique in the 70s but was out and referenced being gay several times during his career. He was one of the first celebrities to announce HIV status. If he hadn't disclosed his status or his sexuality it wouldn't have made him less of a person. So you can go fuck off now.

I think he can totally pull this off. And I bet he ends up with an Oscar for it. And this is from someone who wasn't that crazy about Borat and thinks SBC's characters are all mostly irritating.
This totally could work, so let's have faith, sluts!

Comedians are always the best dramatic actors. That's because they know how to commit to a role.

I'd rather go to a compilation of behind the scene footage mixed with stage performances featuring the inimitable FM himself. My guess is that the same goes for most of his fans. Whomever plays the part of Mercury in a biopic will look faint in comparison.

He got off the phone, and said 'Who is this St. Jude, the patron saint of genies?"

LOL I'm not a fan of SBC either, and if he gets this part it will only be because of a popularity choice, kind of like Will Smith playing Muhammad Ali. The movie will need a familiar name before it can be sold.

I think if SBC brought the same intensity(ali g) to the role of Freddy M it could be fantastic. Just because the film Bruno sucked doesn't mean SBC will suck in everything else he does. Freddy's life story has the potential to be a really great film.

Its hard to imagine this turning out well. I think of queen as having two phases. The one I liked was the early 70s really hard stuff. Saw them in concert--great show, small venue as they weren't as big as stones and zepp.
I would say Night at the Opera was the culmination of that--the prophet song is an underappreciated nugget.
The latter phase, the pop songs, where everybody else liked queen, I thought was not nearly as good.
In any case, I can't imagine this coming out well if they put cohen in it. I would imagine mercury's private life could be pretty interesting and intense--but movies fail more often than not.
Some vintage stuff. That 'corpse' cover art always gave me the heeby-jeebies. Very dark undercurrents here--just the thing for a 17 year old pup...

Looks nearly identical and even sounds similar.
Neither Stossel or Cohen can do justice to Freddie. Although they both boast A-list staches (and believe me I am a stache expert), the subject of Freddie is too much for either of them. Stossel turned out to be a nasty right-winger and well, Cohen gave us "Bruno". An unknown needs to be found.
