Ali G gets lead role in Queen movie!

Bruno star Sacha Baron Cohen will take on another gay role, playing Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic, Nikki Finke's Deadline New York reported.

The lead singer of the legendary band Queen, who died in 1991 from complications from AIDS, is considered a music legend.

It is the third gay role for Cohen, who played a gay Formula One driver in the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights. Cohen starred as Bruno in last year's film by the same name. Gay Australian fashion reporter Bruno sets off to America to become “the biggest Australian superstar since Hitler” after he is fired from is own television show, Funkytime with Bruno.

Surviving members of the band are reportedly backing the film, which is being written by Frost/Nixon screenwriter Peter Morgan.

“Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself,” Graham King, an executive at GK Film, which will distribute the film, said in a statement. “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.”

This had been rumored before but shot down. If it's true I actually think he will do a good job. He was great in Sweeny Todd.

He looks a lot like Freddie - as much as anyone does. I doubt they will let him sing though!

Should be a good movie, if only for the music.

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

A challenger appears:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
