Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury

I'm a fan of queen. not sure about the choice though. I suppose with make up & costume he would resemble Freddie, but apart from that I can't see why they chose him. Hopefully we'll be pleasently surprised.
 
I hope they chop his legs off. Sacha is 6ft 3 and Freddie was 5ft 9 1/2. Only a slight difference.:rolleyes:

if he manages to pull this off then he could be in with a shot at an BAFTA or an Oscar. They do like a biopic, add that with dying of AIRAB and you have the perfect credentials for a nomination.

Someone has to be the first to say it, I wonder if they will get Anita Dobson to play Brian May? :D
 
He might have the look but surely it also depenRAB on how good an actor he is. I haven't watched any of his stuff and so can't really comment about that.
 
Not a fan of biopics so I probably won't see it. As a fan of Queen I hope both Sacha and the script portray Freddie with a bit of respect.

Personally I'd rather just sit down and watch some of the many, many hours of footage of the man himself.
 
Assuming the film is a serious biopic, and not some form of "spoof", I predict that he'll suprise all the doubters and do a bloody good performance.
 
the guy is actually quite a good actor.

Apparently the film will focus around the Live Aid performance and there may not be a focus on Freddie's last days.

In a way however I think they should at least let the audience know and use the film as a good way to spread awareness without it being soppy.
 
It is going to be hard not to just see Borat though (moustache), he'll need to work hard on getting the voice right for it to be believable.
