>tfw still no Freddie Mercury biopic because Brian May insists on removing all the downer stuff like dying from AIDS
>>
>>71696373
Wow, he's more of a faggot than Freddie ever was.
>>
Brian May isn't his widow. I don't see why he would have a say in what's included if they made one. It's kind of too late anyways. Millennials don't even know who Queen was.

Also because Brian May wants Freddie to die have way through the movie. Then the second half is how great Queen was without him.

That's why the Borat guy won't play Freddie.

He's not an awful singer. I feel like he would have portrayed him well.

is this not happening anymore?

Brian just doesn't want it to be some Philadelphia like fag-enabling Hollywood AIDS film.

Freddie's life is worth talking about. His journey. His voice, his music. The whole band's incredible rise to stardom. His death of AIDS was just a big news item that ended up defining him as a person because of sensationalist media. Why would Brian May want that to translate to a biopic about his friend as well?

It's not like it should be the main point of the movie. But as an ending it's important.

Yeah, Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to include a gay anal rimming scene that lasted over ten minutes.

No thanks.

There's early drafts of the SBC script online and it all takes place in the last year of his life. It's a "full blown AIDS" film pitched by a Jewish run Hollywood studio.

Good script though, which apparently was made even better. But still an AIDS film, not a real Freddie Mercury/Queen film.
>>
>>71696424
He'll give the movie bad publicity by going to the press and saying it's full of lies or whatever. Even if it's a 10/10 movie that will hurt it commercially and come award season.

The two most recent ones are v good. They're by the same production company i think

The band focused one is called Days of our Lives or some shit and the Freddie focused one is called The Great Pretender

May is a great composer and guitarist, he was responsible for half the tracks that made Queen what it is.

Yet when Freddie died, Queen went to shit anyway. May should know better.
>>
>>71696937
Shame he basically retired. I always thought he was underrated as a musician. Although when everyone else in Queen was as great at songwriting as they were, Deacon was always gonna get shunned

>doesnt want him dying of aids
>doesnt want to cover freedies outlandish parties that had naked midgets walking around with plates of coke ballanced on their head for party goers to get high off of
>wants the live aid concert to be right before the middle of the movie
>wants the middle arc to be his death and the ENTIRE 2ND HALF OF THE MOVIE THE 20 YEARS WITHOUT HIM

The movie basically writes itself, but May is such a fuckwit he cant see it.

>Starts with the may and taylor doing thier SMILE act and meeting freddie
>freedie shocks them with how good he is
>small segment with them getting ready, but feeling their missing someone and putting out the ad
>enters deacon
>recording the album
>their slow start
>their building up
>their first peek
>all while this is going on, showing freedies increasingly wild lifestyle choices (midgets)
>the slump after the peek
>the depression
>freedie finds out he has aids
>shows how hes getting weaker and harder to record even singles now
>finale of the movie is live aid
>the final scenes of the movie are a real life picture montage with the texts explaining that after live aid, queens popularity came back even stronger than before, but freedie was in so much pain, he couldnt record our tour as much as before, so the albums slowed down and the tours became non existent.
>ends with 2 last text segments.
>in 1991, he formally announced to the world that the rumors where true and that he had aids
>he died less than 24 hours later.
The final shot should be his statue

I wouldnt mind if it just ends on a comeshot then fades to black " you now have aids" .
>>
>>71697202
Gay as fuck reddit
>>
Have him get his diagnosis near the end of the film and end the movie with him sitting alone in a hospital room kinda sad but in a beautiful way. Maybe he's watching a performance and smiles despite his condition.

No need to show more of the AIDS and death.
>>
>>71697262
>Gay as fuck
A, its freddie fucking mercury
B, how is that remotely reddit. How is it even bad. Its a standard structure that would work great for this kind of movie.
>>
>>71697202
Brian probably wants the second half to be about how the band triumphed on without him since he's fucking delusional and thinks that Queen is still Queen.
>>
>>71697202
mostly agree, but i believe they should use live footage instead of a picture montage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyejB43PKkE
>>
>>71697323
it isnt a probably, its fact. Hes stated it as much. He wants live aid and his death to be the middle of the movie and the 2nd half them continuing without freedie and how successful they where without him. He even said "the show must go on" and wants to let the world know it did.

I /really/ dont want to see a movie segment of them doing american idol then accepting its 2nd place winner as its new freddie
>>
>>71697202
What a great movie that would be with perfect casting and directing.
>>
>>71697353
It could be either or, or even a mix of both. But honestly, I feel that my layout would honestly be the best path to take the movie. To make brian happy, they could even add one final thing after his death
>Queen was survived by his 3 bandmates who, after 5 years of working hard in theirt studio, released their final album with freddie, compiled of music written and performed during his last months alive. It was titled Made from heaven.
>Queen still tours to this day and remains one of the most influential and sought after bands of all time and has had over 100 artists tour with them.

There. He got his recognition, but if im honest, I feel it should end with his death 24/h later. The rest feels like "LOOK, WE'RE STILL HERE' and it feels like that because its what hes trying to do

It is right though. They are obsessed with Mercury and there lots of memes about him and everybody says that Queen is sooooo much better than the music today and shit
>>
>>71697553
Is that false?
>>
>>71697553
Dude, he was an amazing singer and still holds the record for number one sold single (boh. rhap). He did tons of things no artist did before and took them over 10+ years to emulate (which a lot of things are still emulated to this day).

Its safe to say that atleast everyone knows 1 queen song. I mean, they did we will rock you, we are the champions, another one bites the dust, boh rhap, princes of the universe, fat bottom girls, somebody to love, dont stop me now, radio gaga and flash gordon. theres to many mega hits to simply go "their a meme band that people think are better than todays music". They are, simply from the sheer number of well known songs.
>>
>>71697516
No he's right. I still like them (a few songs at least) but its a very DUDE I KNOW OLD MUSIC LMAO band.

This is why I could never wholeheartedly enjoy Queen. Their best written songs are their least popular (BR aside). Shit like 'we are the champions', 'another one bites the dust and 'we will rock you' sound like they were specifically written to get mongoloids clapping along at sport stadiums.

It's the curse of the bassist.

Look at Led Zeppelin. Most people tend to overlook John Paul Jones, because of Bonham, Page, and Plant.

Same with Black Sabbath.

Will we ever get another frontman as talented and captivating as Freddie?

It makes me sad that with the death of Bowie and Prince that era of larger than life musicians is coming to an end.

It's fucking telling that the closest thing to a good frontman now is Dave Grohl

>Brian May has formed a group to promote animal welfare. Though a Conservative Party voter most of his life,[130] he has stated that their policies on fox hunting and the culling of badgers meant he did not vote for them at the 2010 General Election. His group, Save Me (named after the May-written Queen song), campaigns for the protection of all animals against unnecessary, cruel and degrading treatment; with a particular emphasis on preventing hunting of foxes and the culling of badgers.[131] The group's primary concern is to ensure that the Hunting Act 2004 and other laws protecting animals are retained in situ.[30]

IIRC Freddie wasnt diagnosed with HIV until like two or three years after live aid
>>
>>71703211
no, he had it before live aid. He may not have known it was HIV, but he was losing tons of weight, had to lower the amount of songs at his concerts because he couldnt do as many as he use to, and even then it was a struggle to get the lesser number done (this is also including the fact that he was being a lot less physical on stage)

His bandmates where all shocked he was able to do the entire live aid concert and asked him about it. He said the thrill of being up there mixed with a kind of magic he couldnt explained helped him.

He may not have known he had it, but he had it. He also denied ALL aids/HIV rumors until the day before he died, so you cant even count what he said.
