Widely considered to be one of the greatest rock anthems of all time, “Bohemian Rhapsody” holds a special place in the hearts of Queen fans, and thanks to Fox’s upcoming Freddie Mercury biopic, we’re about to learn a little more about the creative process behind the scenes, including why there are so many high-pitch renditions of “Galileo!”
But before we get to that, it’s time for some more promo material, as the studio’s rolled out a new collection of posters today which might just have you belting out those famous tunes. Seen in the gallery below, a number of the one-sheets have famous Queen lyrics on them which will no doubt be familiar to fans of the band.
Speaking of which, those very same posters also feature the group’s members, with guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, drummer Roger Taylor and, of course, singer Freddie Mercury all receiving a share of the spotlight. Overall, these pieces of promo material make for a nice appetizer for the main course, which will be here on November 2nd.
While the film looks great so far, it’ll be interesting to see if it can escape its troubled path to theaters. If you’ll recall, production was brought to a screeching halt back in December when it was alleged that erstwhile director Bryan Singer (X-Men) had become unstable, lashing out at the cast and crew and generally losing control of his production.
In his place, Eddie the Eagle helmer Dexter Fletcher was quickly brought in to oversee the remainder of the shoot, and ultimately helped push Fox’s starry biopic over the finish line. But the problems didn’t stop there, as some have since called out the movie for its portrayal of Mercury and his sexuality – based on what they’ve seen from the trailers.
Whether the pic will be able to overcome all that and turn out to be a success, we’ll know in time, but regardless, you can expect Bohemian Rhapsody to recount the life and legacy of Freddy Mercury and his beloved Queen when it arrives on November 2nd.
