hrcarrier Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Looks like this could be really good. I’m surprised that something like this hasn’t been done yet. Edited July 20, 2018 by Jumper_Dad Embedded video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincySportsFan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Looks like this could be really good. I’m surprised that something like this hasn’t been done yet. I'm wondering if it had to do anything with the music rights. Probably had to be a pretty decent proposal to get whoever owns the rights to sign off on it. And let's face it, without the music...you got nothin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I hardly ever go to the movie theatre. This one is already marked on my calendar to go see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about the rights, that likely played a big role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAC Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Good point about the rights, that likely played a big role. There are 3 living members and Adam Lambert had been touring. But not sure if it was timing, approval, protecting the image of Freddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There are 3 living members and Adam Lambert had been touring. But not sure if it was timing, approval, protecting the image of Freddie? Is John Deacon touring with them now? Last I recall he never had anything to do with the Paul Rogers version or any reunion tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band that is touring now features "Queen and Brian Lambert" It mentions May and Taylor but no Deacon. Rogers was 05-08 They are at the MGM in Vegas.

Jumper_Dad Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I hope so badly that this is a great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure if it was timing, approval, protecting the image of Freddie? It’s hard to say. Freddie’s image could have been a big one too with how private he was and with things being considered differently then compared to now. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. I am a Queen fan and grew up listening to their music since childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 The band has been the biggest issue with this movie being made, from my understanding. Everyone has been on board for doing a movie, but they wanted it to be about the BAND and studios and writers wanted the emphasis on Freddie. Brian May envisioned a scenario where Freddie died at the halfway point of the movie. Come on. Boring. Looks like they backed off of that sticking point. But it’s been several years in the making. It looks good. I hope it meets my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamprat Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Understand, I do not watch much TV or attend movie theaters. I remember the guy playing Freddie as the dip student in "Larry Crown". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
