That girl was fierce.

I have thought about this and believe Jonathan Rhyse Myers would be excellent in the role. Sorry that isn't spelled right. I loved Freddie and did not know he was a person of colour. Just never thought about it. He is missed .. really really missed. Also did you know that while he certainly had a gay life, his true love was a woman?

Freddie Mercury was born on the African island of Zanzibar, which was a British Colony at the time (hence the accent). His were Parsians but he was educated in India (in a British school)

"his parents were Parsians"

Who was the woman?

I would just hope that anybody who can sing would get the role!!!

Sasha Baron Cohen, definitely.

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS

he died in 1991 not 92

How about a homosexual for the role?
New idea for Hollywood to cast a gay man in a gay role.

Gay would be cool, a singer & gay would be better. (or) Sascha

It was changed into a FAGGOT-PORN-MOVIE!!

I think Clay Aiken or the closeted homosexual Jake Gylenhaal would be perfect.

another pointless movie on a individualist who died young. whats the point? so many amazing well rounded people who had a positive effect on other's people's lives, and hollywood choosing to immortalize people who were nothing but eccentric. not to down freddie mercury but i'm sick of the bio pic of musicians. they were a great musicians but do they really deserve such an honor?

Overrated. I liked a few of their songs but rock & roll was better when it was simpler not so overblown and produced like Queen's records.

He had a beautiful voice. I never tire of stories of how wherer someone came from, and how they got to where they are. Especially musicians.
To see the rise, and what they went through is very interesting.
I would hope that they would not have someone else sing, and just be someone who is excellent at lip syncing. I don't want to hear someone else's average voice.

Sasha Baron Cohen, for sure!!!

He was evil and spread aids.

glad to see some got facts right

Freddie was a lovely kind and shy man in person...on stage he held you in the palm of his hand... a true talent that is missed by millions to this day

i personally think he would cringe at any movie being made about him....

he would rather the music be the thing to remember him by...

for Queen lovers check out

www.queenbreakthru.com

go have some fun--party with Queen fans and raise some money for charity..

i heard through Brianmay.com that there was never a Freddie Movie to be made. Please don't spread hateful comments about him...it's just not nice. he was a great soul... and an kind and gentle person that sacrificed himself to make others happy... give me a break... alot of people promiscious... do you think just because they're straight...their better? gosh! Freddie wasn't someone who was just eccentric...you have to think about the time that Queen came out (musically) and all the talent Freddie and the band possessed, all over the world they're legends, for some reason in america...they'll always be underdogs...i'll never understand that!! they were the first to produce a video! remember bohemian rhap??? please! think about all the music that they made almost THIRTY years ago the people still know and love!!! and most of it was freddie's music!

Johnny Depp, Eric McCormack, or Ola Salo (lead singer of The Ark), would all be good choices. They can all sing, but no one has Fred's vocal range of 4 octaves & the singing should definitely be dubbed. Incidentially, he was bi, not gay, & had many women lovers. Even though he seemed flamboyant on stage & at parties, he was a sweet, kind shy individual, often being overly charitable anonomously. It would be an insult to Freddie's memory to have Sasha Cohen, who is not even a talent or an actor(just an ugly crude "comic", & obsessed Queen fan trying to resemble Freddie by sporting a mustashe!). Sasha should just stick w/ what he does--toilet/insult "humor".

IMO, Depp would be perfect. He's not afraid of controversial roles. When watching The Libertine I saw a striking resemblance to Freddie.

I still love him! Thanks Farokh Bulsara for everything! Movie? Find an actor from Bollywood! That would be very appropriate and It would please Freddie!

Johnny Depp will bring out a good characterization of Freddy Mercury.

Dude, Sacha would be perfect. One, he's already got the moustache down, and two, I think Johnny Depp's the biggest asshole ever. He'd ruin the man.

defiantly Johnny Depp. the man is of the greatest actors to ever grace the planet. what more could you want? the best singer being portrayed by one of the best actors in the world? the two are basically equals. Depp would push the limit as far as acting as Mercury. i truly hope he gets the role.

I agree with a much earlier comment, let's leave the man be, if for no other reason than for out of respect for Freddie Mercury, his family, friends. Freddie Mercury, while living, only wanted privacy, as any other human being would. He is still felt everywhere in the world, his mark was made as an artist, in true form. To me, from what I have seen in interview's by himself and the band, Queen was and always will be (with or without Freddie)a class act. Just look at the beautiful music still being made by Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Paul Rodgers.

I hope that this will never to be made. I wonder why even make a movie? their music will live forever without some stupid movie. We should respect he's wish what comes to privacy life etc.
And no one will ever know how to play Freddie, that would be just ridiculous. Let him rest in peace, finally.

Sorry bad english..

Freddie is an amazing musician/permformer. I can't imagine making music myself without his influence. I can only hope that one day, soon, that current musicians will get the balls to think freely and make music without inhabitions. Freddie was and what he will always remain in my mind. Make a movie if you would like, you could never make me think diffrently of Mercury!!!! And i'm not even gay... Not that there's anything wrong with that! RIP Freddie, Thank you.
