Bohemian Rhapsody(2018 long-awaited Freddy Mercury biopic)

Starring Rami Malek, this thing has been in development hell for nearly a decade - and with Sacha Baron Cohen originally set to play the title role.  I thought Cohen might've been a closer physical fit, but he's much too tall....and besides, watching his performance might very well be akin to seeing a guy who looks like Borat and acts like Bruno(no offense). :P  Cohen also wanted to delve into some of Mercury's more controversial life choices, and May wanted the film to be more family-friendly....AND to have half of it take place after Mercury's death, covering Queen's career post-11/24/1991.  So the two split due to creative differences, and "Elliot Alderson" was hired in Sacha's stead.

I was wary at first, but some amateur phone footage seemed promising:

 

 

And now that the official trailer has dropped, here's to hoping(an amazing soundtrack guaranteed at minimum!):

I think it looks great. He actually looks remarkably like Mercury, which was surprising. I am really excited.

You think so?  I don't see any real resemblance beyond your run-of-the-mill dark-haired, scrawny, vaguely Mediterranean-looking male with a glued-on 'stache.

Take this ugly fucker, for example:

I've heard it's leaving out his sexuality & the AIDs crisis... I hope that's just a rumor because I really want to see this!! 

No, that's true...one of the reasons Baron Cohen left the project because he wanted to make it R-rated and tackle some of the more controversial aspects of his life.

If you're looking for that sort of thing, I highly recommend(with an actor, er, "tribute artist" that looks like a friggin' clone!):
