  • Roger Taylor and Brian May from Queen. Not due to them being overt assholes, but about how the treated the cinematic legacy of Freddy Mercury.

    The blocked a movie idea with Sasha Baron Cohen playing Freddie in his flamboyant, over the top lifestyle as they wanted it to be ‘more about the band’ and they wanted Freddies death to be the middle part of the story, where the last half was them two (as Roger Deacon had walked away from them) protecting Freddies legacy.

    I mean, the reason people loved Freddie was over his larger than life persona, and I’m convinced Cohen could’ve struck the note between the over-the-top, the fabulous and the pesonal Freddie.

    Instead we got BoRep, which was an awful movie with a polished up storyline and danger free scenes. Also it was horribly edited.

    I must say, they haven’t done horrible stuff, they are decent individuals. But they got their succes out of working with Freddie yet they fail to see why everybody was so enchanted by Freddie and not so much by themselves.
