Sacha Baron Cohen to play Freddy Mercury
 

Pretty good casting

stellar casting, but the story is still unsubstantiated...seems like it's probably true though.

hmmmm Sacha Baron in a serious role.

he be perfect.

why anyone would want to make, participate in the making of, watch or even contemplate the idea of a queen/freddy mercury biopic is beyond me

godspeed the revolution, that's what i say

can hollywood stop making rock biopics? pretty please?

Ditto. However, at this point, I think I'm just glad that Johnny Depp didn't get the role, because the man should not be allowed to play whoever he wants.

I don't really have any specific gripes about Johnny Depp, other than that he seems a bit boring and unfunny in real life, and he's prettier than me, and he's terribly overexposed. Yeah. Nothing specific. His acting is all right (at times really good, but mostly just all right), but it bothers me when he chooses roles on the basis that the character is "mysterious" and/or "shy/reserved." He's better in movies like Fear & Loathing and Ed Wood where it's more about a high-energy, over-the-top, funny performance and less about his perfect cheekbones. Stupid attractive face.
