Same guy who wrote "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon" is writing the script,which will follow Queen from their 1971 inception to their stunning 1985 LiveAid performance,six years before Mercury died.

Robert De Niro's production company will be producing the movie

Three possible titles are floating around:

"Bohemian Rhapsody"
"God Save The Queen"
"We Will Rock You-The Story of Queen"(my personal pick)

I think they made a very good choice to play Freddie:

Here's a better title:

"Queen > MJ"

Freddie was one "happy" fella. What a shame it shortened his life span.

MJ: "Hey Bert, is that a knee in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?"

I think Michael Jackson should have played the role. And George Lopez should Narrate

Adam Lambert was made for this role, although he probably can't act.
