Now this is a movie I can totally get behind. With Michael Douglas set to play Liberace (and Matt Damon to play his lover), it's great ot hear Hollywood is interested in resurrecting another gay icon. Comic Sasha baron-Gohen, who many know from his characters Borat, Bruno, and Ali G is gearing up to play the Queen frontman. Peter Morgan, who wrote Frost/Nixon and The Queen, among others, is currently writing the script.
"This is the first time the surviving members of Queen--Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon--have licensed songs and music publishing rights for a movie about the band and they formed Queen Films to be part of the production team on the film. They previously supplied their songs to We Will Rock You, the stage musical that has been running 9 years on London’s West End."
I'm really hoping they don't shy away from Freddie's well documented sexcapades, just so they can get breeders uncomfortable with the gay content in theaters. If you are going to make a boipic I expect you to "go there!"
