Thing is, whether they're shown in theaters or on TV, people will assume it's all fact - even the sensationalized parts added for 'drama'. Can you imagine what they'd do to the boys if a movie were made about Queen? Unless Brian, Roger and John wrote and directed it themselves, I wouldn't want something like that to happen.
As for the original post - Johnny Depp is such a versatile actor. I think he'd be great in just about any part... though I'm not sure I can see him playing a member of Queen.
I could see Johnny Depp playing Freddie, magicalfreddiemercury.
He reminds me of Freddie sometimes...and has that little craziness and genius so appropiate for the role of Freddie.
