The Life of Freddie Mercury...movie

[heck yeh baby X]

I find his life the most interesting lately. I mean, he was the front man of a major band in the 70's and 80's......he went from Rock, to Opera, and back to Rock. He suffered through the end of his career to AIDS though he tried hiding it very well until the day of his death. He even suffered while making his final album with Queen. I think that a movie about him would be extrordinary. Especially showing his relationships with his lovers...and the woman that was more than just a lover. I forgot her name.....but I really wish they would make a movie of his life.

yeah, a lot of people have said how they want to see a biopic of his life....i agree, it'd be awesome if done properly.

It's almost too easy to cast him...Johnny Depp would be awesome in the role.

Now this would be a great movie.

Really, if there were a Freddy Mercury biopic, I'd just go for the music. Nothing like two solid hours of rocking out to Queen.

I've always wanted to see a Freddy Mercury biopic and a Walt Disney biopic. Both men had really interesting lives. Hopefully one comes to light.

If they ever did a Freddie Mercury biopic, Ian Somerhalder would be perfect. He looks a LOT like him.

whoever it be, it just needs to be a story that will make everyone cry and feel for Freddie. His sexuality costed him, especially at a time where AIDS became rampant and there was no idea that it could be stopped

From what I could infer, S.B. Cohen wanted to focus on all the debauchery Freddie was involved in & the rest of Queen said no.
Which made me think 2 things :
1) were they trying to protect Freddie? Its not like we don't know what he was involved with.
2) Who gives them the right to just say no?
Its not their life to have total control over. I would think Freddie's estate should have final say.
