Shebeen Posted July 18, 2018 Share No sure where to post this, but yoh! It was funny. Sacha Baron Cohen is the most amazing storyteller. I really thought he would be the most awesome Freddie Mercury. Brian May disagreed Cohen, however, said he understood why the surviving members of Queen wanted a more PG-rated version of the film that vaunted the band’s legacy. But the actor also admitted he should’ve known from his first meeting with the band that creative differences would arise. “A member of the band, I won’t say who, he said, ‘This is such a great movie because it’s got such an amazing thing that happens in the middle of the movie,'” Cohen recalled. “I go, ‘What happens in the middle of the movie?’ He goes, ‘Freddie dies.'” While Cohen assumed the band meant the film would be structured non-linearly like Pulp Fiction, he soon realized that they wanted the second half of the film to focus on how Queen carried on after Mercury’s death in 1991.Despite that inauspicious meeting, Cohen continued to work on the movie for several years. He even brought in various big-name filmmakers that didn’t pan out with the band, including screenwriter Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen) and directors David Fincher and Tom Hooper. “At the end of the day it really was an artistic difference,” Cohen said.Cohen was first linked to the Mercury biopic in 2010 and dropped out in 2013. That same year,Queen guitarist Brian May explained the split by saying that the band “felt that [Cohen’s] presence in the movie would be very distracting… The man who plays Freddie, you have to really believe is Freddie. And we didn’t think that could really happen with Sacha.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in the aviation field this hit home hard. Was he sitting in the cockpit? From the pictures I saw of the cabin I was surprised there was only 1 fatality.
