Rami Malek stars as the iconic Freddie Mercury.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When Bryan Singer left the set of \u201cBohemian Rhapsody,\u201d \u201cEddie the Eagle\u201d director Dexter Fletcher came in and replaced him. But Singer\u2019s name is still on the project as a co-director. The first poster, which I\u2019ve included here, doesn\u2019t list any credits, so, it remains to be seen how Singer will be credited (first or second or even as a director). One \"\"wonders what contractual obligations still exist, after everyone alleged breach. I\u2019m thinking that an arbitration may have been entertained to resolve outstanding issues.<\/p>\n

While the legal wrangling may still be raging, looking at the rocking trailer, you\u2019d never know that there were problems behind the scenes. In the film, \u201cMr. Robot\u2019s\u201d Rami Malek plays Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. And he certainly looks the part with what can really be described as an inventive bit of casting. Malek is easily one of the most interesting faces working these days, so, I\u2019m very hip on seeing him in this one.<\/p>\n

Another notable cast member is Mike Myers. Director Fletcher and Myers can be seen on screen together in \u201cTerminal,\u201d which I reviewed last week. Maybe that explains how Fletcher got the directing gig. Needless to say, this is a big film for Fletcher, who has been acting since he played as Baby Face in Alan Parker\u2019s hugely entertaining musical \u201cBugsy Malone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d is scheduled to play wide on November 2, 2018.<\/p>\n
