Enough about Johnny Depp as Freddie. If he's cast, who should play the rest of Queen? I vote for: John - Edward Norton Roger - Kiefer Sutherland Brian - Will Ferrell (cuz he's tall and has naturally curly hair. Oh, come on. I could have said Dustin Diamond or Justin Guarini, but they're too young. Actually, I have no idea who should play Brian.) Yes, I know they're all American (except for Mr. Sutherland), but so is Johnny Depp. And they're all roughly the same age, so they'll all look too old for the first tour but they'll look just right for Live Aid. Now who would play Mary Austin? |

Didn't someone (I think Brian) say that they would all play a part... I mean as themselves... so Brian would be Brian, Roger - Roger, and John would be John, etc. |

| Penetration_Guru 23.12.2006 12:19 |
Right, so John would return to play himself in a film? Fucking hell you people are deluded. |
| skiqueen 23.12.2006 12:44 |
sean penn for john deacon, they're practically twins....well, actually, not that much, but the resemblance is there. |
| ScaramoucheFandango 23.12.2006 13:44 |
what did happen to John? we haven't heard anything about him lately... or for a very very long time... have we? |
| brENsKi 23.12.2006 14:31 |
roger - kurt kobain (oh f*ck he's dead) brian - rod hull (oh fuck he's dead too) freddie - elvis presley (a pattern is emerging here) john - sid james (i really haven't got the hang of this) |
| Nathan 23.12.2006 15:42 |
I reckon: (my fantasy cast) Roger: Burt Lancaster John: Gregory Peck Brian: William Holden Freddie: NO IDEA |
| Poo, again 23.12.2006 16:23 |
But wasn't Freddie gay? |

If this Queen Movie is for real (and I still don't believe Depp is already in the cast)... I've said it before: John Deacon = Josh Charles Do Imdb him! See for yourselves... |

why do i have a feeling that this is going to be a bust :S |
| blerp 24.12.2006 01:32 |
I don't agree with Sutherland as Roger Taylor...haha |
| Munchsack 24.12.2006 12:30 |
How about Toni Collette as Mary Austin? She's a good actress and there is a definite resemblence. |
| August R. 24.12.2006 16:50 |
Does it really matter who plays John? I mean, he's such a quiet character that we'll probably see about 3 seconds of John in the final cut (and that's when he plays the AOBTD bass riff). The rest of him will never leave the editing room. Sad but true, That's how Hollywood flix are these days. |
| Fiendishly Yours 24.12.2006 23:25 |
A friend of mine suggested Adrien Brody for the role of John. I think that's a pretty good match. :D |
| vadenuez 26.12.2006 16:39 |
If you're thinking that you can squeeze Freddie's life inside a two hour biopic and waste precious time bringing some famous cast to play three musicians who led pretty flat non-showbiz living, you don't know how Hollywood works. If any famous actor is going to participate, he'll surely be casted to play Jim Hutton, Peter Freestone or the AIDS-infected guy. |
| Nathan 26.12.2006 17:01 |
Sean Connery for Roger Taylor. |

Although it will be good to have a high profile film about Freddie, my real desire would be to have the film actually about Queen - we've already got 'The Untold Story' which gives the full, true Freddie life story, and this film will just add to the impression for those non Queen fan cinema goers that Freddie was the band, and the others were just his backing band |

Or how about we stop discussing it now because if they do make a movie it's gonna suck and if they don't, well, good. Oh, and Bob Saget as Brian May? Now what is up with that? |
| ~im a fool~ 01.01.2007 16:01 |
i have no idea of whos gonna play who, but whats this thing gonna be rated? i really hope that i can even see it, because most likely, there will be sexual stuff, that there gonna show, which makes it R, which rules me out. |

And yeah, I agree that the band isn't recognised enough. Freddie didn't write Rock You or Dust. |

I hope they get real musicians to play the other parts. |
| jeep49 04.01.2007 03:52 |
Graham Norton- Roger Jeremey Clarkson - Brian Alice Cooper - John Sacha Cohen (Ali G) Freddie |
| Gratzi 04.01.2007 04:03 |
Too bad David Hemmings is older than Roger...:-( He would have been more than perfect...(see Blow-up). As for Deaky... maybe Martin Short (but he's kind of old as well- & short-muhahahahahahahah!!!) DAMN!!! Everybody's old!! |
| MarkieKnopflie 04.01.2007 05:05 |
That Martin Short would have been fabulous for John!!.. sad he's too old |
| zlatan 04.01.2007 07:13 |
Now who would play Mary Austin? = Michelle Pfeiffer |
| Gratzi 04.01.2007 07:31 |
Mary Austin... -Lauren Holly maybe.... but come on! do you guys think the anybody envolved in the production of the film is reading this???? Maybe Deaky's reading this & he'll go to the producers with our ideas & steal all the glory!!! |

well, guys, i do find thsi topic very interesting. yes i am a queen freak, and i always will be, but i got interested in def leppard after i watched hysteria: the def leppard story. they were influenced by queen, u know. well anyway, they picked pretty interesting characters to play them. the only one that pretty much looked like they should was the drummer, and still there wasn't such a huge resemblence. however, i do agree that johnny dep should play freddie because i know that a lot of people havent thought about this, but when u watch charlie and the choc factory i just see freddie in teh im going slightly mad video. i have no i dea why but johnny depp does remind me of freddie. as for the rest of the cast, there is a problem. i know its hollywood, but as the members get older, tehy kinda get more wrinkles and john goes gray, and they kinda gain weight......................... |
