...so they want Ben Whipsaw to play Freddie? Too wholesome....

I like Whishaw - tough role though. Would have been wild to see Sacha take on Freddie, I'm not sure he has the dramatic chops for it, but could have been a spectacular failure all the same.

Sacha has shown dramatic chops in "Sweeney Todd" "Hugo" and "Les Miserables."

[Noah Walden]

All fairly broad comedic roles though, lots of mugging. I liked him in all of those, just not sure they show he could pull off Mercury's life.

His WTF interview is worth a spin.

[Kyle Curtis]

Interesting thread now that Remi Malek won the Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury.

Are we getting any more Mr. Robot? Or is that done? I know Gummer just had a kid so not sure if that has stalled production or if it's happening at all. Yep, Streep's a grandma.

(Overrated) Streep.
