Set to star as Freddie Mercury, after month's of speculation and to no one's surprise, is Sacha Baron Cohen. The film will chronicle the beginnings of Queen up until their 1985 Live Aid performance (which is considered to be the greatest live performance ever) in Wembley Stadium. It hasn't been confirmed if the biopic will tackle Freddie's battle with HIV but to be more surprised if they do. Finally, no word yet if Sacha Baron Cohen will do the vocals himself or Freddie's voice will be used from recordings.
"Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself. Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role, coupled with Peter's screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success." Graham King of GK Films, the film's main financier, said in a statement.
What's your opinion on this? Will Sacha Baron Cohen do Freddie Mercury justice?
