Bohemian Rhapsody

Reading about the recently released film Bohemian Rhapsody ...

a 2018 biographical film about the British rock band Queen. It follows singer Freddie Mercury's life, leading to Queen's Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium in 1985 ... Bohemian Rhapsody was announced in 2010, with Sacha Baron Cohen cast as Mercury. After Baron Cohen left the project in 2013 following creative differences with producers, the project languished for several years before Malek was cast in November 2016. Principal photography began in London in September 2017 with Singer as director. In December 2017, Singer was fired for absence and clashing with the cast and crew, and Dexter Fletcher was hired to complete the film. Singer retained sole director credit as per DGA guidelines, while Fletcher received an executive producer credit. Filming concluded in January 2018.

I really only noticed the movie when I read that the director had been Bryan Singer, also a director of an X-Men movie who has been multiply accused of sexual misconduct. The reviews of the film were not great (Freddie Mercury: Bohemian Rhapsody is no tribute. It’s full of unconscious homophobia), but I've signed up for it at Netflix and will give it a chance.

Here's a trailer ...



Here's a video of their song that I like best :) ...



Someday I must check out the past Doors movie too.
