I couldn't find the original thread on this topic, so I've started a new one... It was announced on Yahoo news last year that Sacha Baron Cohen would play Freddie Mercuy in an upcoming Bio~pic. That was then shot down on Brian May's website as only wishfull thinking on Cohen's part. I recently bought the Borat book, created by Cohen, that is a sort of fake brocher on the country of Kazakhstan. In it, Borat talks about how the country loves Frederick Mercury from the band Queens because he looks like a Kazkh, or person from Kazakhstan. Then later in the book it talks about their anual look like contest for Freddy and how Borat won and it shows a picture of him in his costume. Although he does resemble Freddie a bit, and I have posted photos of Freddie himself, that look like Cohen, it looks like there's no stopping Cohen from trying to get this part. So what do you guys think of Cohen's love of Freddie?

I don't know much about this Borat guy, so bear with me.
So...he's from a foreign country? If English is his second language, then the misspellings are perfectly acceptable. I don't mind that.
But yeah...from what I know about the sort of movies this guy usually acts in, him playing Freddie would be just...weird. I myself wouldn't care too much, since I haven't seen the movies, but can you imagine 99.9% of Queen fans? There would be uproar! All I've got to say is, whoever is directing that movie would have to be crazy to get Borat for the part.
He seems to have a keen interest in Freddie...almost too keen. Teenage girls = totally fine. Grown men... rolleyes I don't know...
So, there's my two cents. biggrin

HaHa! No! Sascha Cohen PLAYS Borat, a oblivious foriegn news caster from Kazikstan(sp?) XD. Hes a character actor! rofl His book was probably more of a joke than anything else(kinda like Steven Colberts Bio, "I am America, And So Can You!", its all harmless fun), probably comedically hinting on his part in the said movie.
I think he could do the part of Freddie pretty well if he could go from playing Ali G (a gangster talk show host) to playing Borat.
I also heard that it was originally sopposed to be (the amazingly attractive XD) Johnny Depp playing Freddie.

But It Wont Be Soon Enough...
Sascha is an AMAZING actor, possibly better then Mr. Sexy Pants( rofl ) himself. But he is very tall, and Freddie was like, 5 something feet tall.
So who COULD ever play Freddie? It's hard to say! confused
But a Queen movie would be awesome....
We'll hafta find an actor sonner or later gonk

I heard the Johnny Depp rumor, too...but then again, the guy's got a lot on his plate right now, what with the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Dear god. Can't they just stop at three? I think three is enough, man. I mean I love those movies, but it has to end somewhere.
