I mean a movie focusing on touring days especially on the things that happened which may have fun. For sure there are many stories. In terms of costumes, lighting rigs Hollywood could do miracles. The soundtrack could be a live compilation. Not so sure how a movie painting a picture of limitless fun, wanton excess and hedonism plays into the current worldwide hardship, rampant inflation and cost-off living crisis. sure, it's escapism, but is now really the time to be making that kind of movie? hugely insensitive (at best) and crass (at worst) maybe best that any "fun-themed" movie doesn't revisit Saturday Night In Sodom [aka Jazz Launch Party]

Queen along with many other artist were tax exiles, when there was crisis in 70s and 80s. Nowadays not only Queen, but other bands are using inflated prices on their products, dynamic pricing on tickets etc. It is like, there is always buyers -market. I don't think a movie with fun stories, good comedy and some excess will flop. Hollywood always alters the facts. It is a movie not documentary.

, they could create a nice "comedy" based on Queen touring. So we will have a good soundtrack with live songs and "comedy" full of energy film with different situations on the road, backstage and on stage. It could be called "This is Spinal Queen"...

Well I hated the first one, thought the timeline and Rami Malek's acting was awful. I for one will not be rushing to see it.......IF it ever gets made. They will probably cover Freddie's demise in the first 30 minutes, then devote the rest of the film to how they have continued without him ( which they should never have done IMO) Just wish they would release the definitive live collection (covering every tour) then........... RETIRE!!! To be fair, I get the impression the actors were chosen for their looks, rather than acting ability, but I've always thought Luke Spiller from The Struts would have made a good Freddie. The guy who played Brian, however, had him down to a tee. 🙂 Holy crap never once have I seen such an uncanny resemblance to Freddie before.

Wow, that *is* a truly uncanny resemblance, even accounting for the fact that he's deliberately emphasizing it by his choice of clothes, hairstyle and make-up!

I watched "Bohemian Rhapsody" once and I thought it sucked ! I could not believe all of the mistakes through out the film, being a Queen fan for over fifty years, I knew the story of Queen and it was just crazy how timelines were all over the place. None Queen fans seemed to lap it up and thought it was all as it happened . The bit where Brian & Roger were at Freddie's party rave up and they ducked out making them seem whiter than white and were horrified at the way the party was going. I mean please Brian & Roger were no angels themselves ! Also the way Roger ,Brian and John made Freddie apologise for going off and making "Mr Bad Guy" and having to ask if he could be forgiven and return to the band ! I mean he was the main songwriter of the band and wrote many of their greatest songs. What were they going to do ring Paul Rodgers and ask him to join the band. So no I certainly do not want a second part digging all of those painful memories of Freddie's awful battle with Aids and death. Anyway after Freddie's death Queen were in active for many years, until the Paul Rodgers tours and I could not stand Adam Lambert being cast as some sort of hero who made Queen rise from the ashes !!

The original movie was never meant to be a documentary. I'm guessing the vast majority of casual viewers wouldn't notice the 'mistakes' in the timeline, among other factual inaccuracies. It was meant for mass market entertainment, and that's exactly what it is.
