One thing I will give Brian, as much as I take the piss out of him, he has always been very up on all 4 members being equally represented.
So I'm guessing each member will have 3 of their songs in the movie with one of those being a 'feature' song we see recorded, with Freddie getting an extra one or two because it's his film.
John will have another one bites the dust
Roger will have I'm in love with my car
Freddie gets Bohemian Rhapsody
Brian's will be we will rock you.
He's the only character they've cast family for, he's the only character they've cast a child actor for, the tagline: "The only thing more extraordinary than their music is his story."
He's clearly the character the film focuses on.
I hope they'll do a big mash-up album like the mash-ups used in the trailers. I would love a Queen-album similar to the Beatles LOVE from 10 years back or so. But I'm sure it'll just be another best of compilation with maybe 1 or 2 alternate versions.
Wouldn't be surprised if they've done a remake of Smile songs, seeing that Tim Staffel & Brian were in the studio recently. Can imagine that the mastertapes to the Smile material are no longer available so they can't use them in a 5.1 mix or something.
Pim, re:

Yeah - Earth featuring additional guitar overdubs (a-la the DSMN bonus track) to completely ruin it.
Can't wait for this movie to be absolutely panned and Brian's predictable reaction to it all.
