Queen Movie!

So I opened my internet broweser, and guess what I saw?!

Sacha Baron Cohen to Play Freddie Mercury in Queen!

Yes that's right folks a movie about Queen, it's finally happening! Personally I've never heard of Sacha Baron Cohen, but apparently he's done a bunch of movies. He starred in Da Ali G show, and as Borat, and Bruno. Hopefully because he's played such interesting, and sometimes flamboyant characters he will be a good match for the role of Freddie Mercury. He better be, or there will be some upset Queen fans, me being one of them.

The movie has remained untitled so far, but it will cover Queen's early years to their 1985 concert at Wembley Stadium (which some say was Queens best concert). Unfortunately it will not cover the years leading to Mercury's death, but I believe it was out of respect for him. He liked to keep his life private, in fact, he did very few interviews.
Below is a nice video montage/memoir of Freddie Mercury's last interview before dying, put over some clips of his performances. I believe it portrays him in a nice light.

It is my hope that the movie will do Mr. Mercury justice. I believe after someone is dead and gone, it is not appropriate to dwell on the things that went wrong in their life, it is not respectful to show them in a light that they would have not been okay with.

Anyway... I'm looking forward to seeing this movie (although it will not be out for a few years most likely), but I will definitely make a post when I see it!
