Dexter Fletcher was tempted to cast Oscar-winner Rami Malek to reprise his role as Freddie Mercury from Bohemian Rhapsody for the Elton John biopic, Rocketman. Fletcher, who took over Bohemian Rhapsody directing duties following Bryan Singer's firing, opted against the casting for the cameo in the Taron Egerton-starred film he told Gay Star News. "There […]
With the official Twitter page for USA Network's Mr. Robot being more and more active and cryptic, hopefully a release date for the final season of Mr. Robot is on the horizon – especially now that the show has Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek in the lead. Until then, we've got a recap of season […]
World-renown Queen guitarist (and astrophysicist) Brian May says he didn't understand how his comments about "following" Bryan Singer via Instagram could be taken as support for the man. While you take a minute to contemplate how someone with a PHD couldn't understand this, a bit of background. Bryan Singer was originally the director on FOX's award-winning Bohemian Rhapsody biopic […]
It's been a week of stories about Bryan Singer. Earlier this week, The Atlantic published an expose about the filmmaker which included additional allegations of impropriety, namely alleged unwilling intimate advances by Singer towards then-underage young men. It's a tough read, but The Atlantic claims to have undergone months of research and background before publishing the […]
Bryan Singer retained his directorial credit for Bohemian Rhapsody even though FOX fired him from the production. This is largely in part to how much of the film was completed at the time of the axing, and whatever contractual niceties were in place before then. The filmmaker isn't done with the picture however, as he's sharing some […]
Bohemian Rhapsody's Mike Myers revived a pop culture icon in advance of today's election on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Despite the last Austin Powers film released 16 years ago, Myers, who played the title character, has made the occasional appearance as Powers' arch nemesis, Dr. Evil. The timing of the appearances relates to contemporary politics […]
We kind of LOVE this Bohemian Rhapsody trailer done in LEGO. Trailers are an art form, we really do believe this (and actually host panels at conventions across the country to discuss what about them works, doesn't work, and if you want to see the film based solely on the trailer). This particular one is brilliantly […]

We're doing a lot of talking about 20th Century FOX's Bohemian Rhapsody this week, and sure, we can say that's because it releases today. There are our reviews (which you can read here and here), and the fairly in-depth look at what happened to the previously planned Sacha Baron Cohen version of a Freddie Mercury biopic (which you […]
8 years seems like a long time to work on a project that never ends up happening, but that's roughly how long Sacha Baron Cohen worked on *his* R-rated Freddie Mercury biopic. Well okay, so he started working on the premise about 8 years ago for Sony, but 3 years ago, Brian Singer began his version for […]
Bohemian Rhapsody was very, very long, but at the same time, felt like it was missing so much. We could speak at length about >this< writer's personal disappointment with the film, but judging something on what it could have been vs what it is maybe isn't so fair. https://youtu.be/mP0VHJYFOAUVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is […]
