Another Freddie film rumour doing the rounds.....
From todays Sunday News (New Zealand):

The logic must be: he played a fag in a tv-show, he is a perfect choise to play any fag.
Well, certainly he'd be a tough role but I think my personal choices would be Fez from That 70's Show or Ewan McGregor.
No one's really going to look like him and you have to get someone who'd be a good balance between looking like him and acting like him.
My two cents.
Alicia Sliverstone could play Roger;)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Wrong, wrong, WRONG choice of casting. They should use someone with a bit more personality, perhaps an unknown who performs Queen songs weekly at gigs in Texas...
May I nominate Gregory Finsley of Queen For A Day? He's got the late 70s-early 80s Freddie look and could do so well!!
I suggest the guy in Sister Act 2 when she goes into the after hours. I swear that there's a bloke in Sister Act 2 that looks like Freddie.
He'd do quite well. Give a rats about his voice.
