I dont have a clue who Freddie Mercury, is that who the named the car after. He was an Iranian or Iraqia dude who was raised in England. Was singer for a rock group called queen. He got the butt flu and died............ Iraqia??? He was from Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. 220/221

Theyve been trying to get this film made for a long time but theres been a lot of complications
The same can be said about a biopic on Jimi Hendrix which would be a trip through Awsometown!

Consequently, licensing and copyrights are in a stalemate

Im certainly no fan of his lifestyle or choices but from a pure entertainment aspect he was one of, if not the best front men, singers of his era.

His music was fine, but that doesnt make his personal life interesting to me. Just another short lived performer that is most likely remembered greater in death than in life. Ill pass on the movie.

When he wrote and recorded "Show Must Go On" I wonder if he knew he was dieing?( from the AIDS) Dont know. But, I dont think the AIDS sneaks up on someone like a heart attack or something. He was probably aware of the AIDS for a while. Then again, Im no AIDS expert. Someone else needs to answer this.

Without googling it I believe you're correct. Seems like I remember 1991-1992.. The very first time I watched the band was on a TV show late one Saturday night, midnight special I think.. I had listened to the band on the radio a lot mid 70's locally on the ZOO, KZEW with Roadie and lobelia. I remember when I did see them, I thought, WHAAAAAAT....I'll watch the movie, Freddie was a wild one for sure...

The dude was an absolute one of a kind talent - I could listen to him all day and night and then some. Who knows how a movie is going to pan out on any subject, but you've got as good of a starting point with Freddie Mercury as you would with anything.
