I'm still inclined to believe Baron Cohen's version of events... (quote)
Sacha Baron Cohen said: “A member of the band – I won’t say who – said: ‘You know, this is such a great movie because it’s got such an amazing thing that happens in the middle.’”
“And I go: ‘What happens in the middle of the movie?’ He goes: ‘You know, Freddie dies.’ ... I go: ‘What happens in the second half of the movie?’ He goes: ‘We see how the band carries on from strength to strength.’
“I said: ‘Listen, not one person is going to see a movie where the lead character dies from Aids and then you see how the band carries on.’
“There are amazing stories about Freddie Mercury. The guy was wild. There are stories of little people walking around parties with plates of cocaine on their heads!”
Quotes are from this story (from last month):

So basically May wants to do a "movie of the week" and Sasha wants to do "Caligua".... {nm} Apr 10, 11:50
Now there's an idea: a movie about floundering rival Mercury biopics, one a la Hallmark, the other not. {nm} Apr 10, 13:14
