[Jimi75]

Johnny Depp is supposed to play F. Mercury in a "Queen" movie.

I think this is great news, as Depp is a true actor and I can clearly see him playing the extroverted Freddie Mercury.

Just read what the article says, Robert DeNiro is also involved.....

Cool Jimi .. I think Depp will nail Freddie , cant wait to hear the high registers ...

 

[Robert]

Wow, that is so cool! Can't wait to see that one. Depp is a great actor, and I really dig/dug Freddie and Queen. Fantastic band.

Wow, I can't wait to see that. That is a MUST see in the theatre with the big speaks!

I wonder if they'll make Johnny's teeth look like Freddie's. Anyone ever notice how bucktoothed Freddie was? It was like he continued to suck his thumb until he was 20 and messed up his teeth.

Do I take the easy joke or just let it go?

Fine, I'll leave it be. Just know I was thinking it.

I make a pretty good straight man, huh?

You guys have amazing restraint.

You guys have amazing restraint.

You don't even know the half of it, Spudster. Thing is, I DON'T have any restraint, so the dilemma this whole thing has caused me is amazing. Every time I think of the punchline to the joke, I start chuckling and get the mad urge to forget about taste and go ahead and post it anyway.

Only thing stopping me is that I don't think Robert would approve. Mind you, it's always been in my nature to defy authority, which just adds to it.

This isn't turning over a new leaf. It's pure hell you're putting me through.

 

[Spudman]

Sorry to cause such anguish.

I suppose we can all be thankful that Freddie gave so much of himself that we have a lot of great music to enjoy our lives to. Just think, boom boom chuck, boom boom chuck. Of course...We Will Rock You...and he did.

There better be a lot of music in this movie and not just a bunch of stupid acting stuff.R

Yeah........Johnny is going to play Freddie now.............I had to turn it down as I did not think that I could dub the guitar parts for Brian AND play Freddie at the same time.............................

As it is........I have had to turn down playing Brian's partR including playing the guitar as I have had a better offer......................well, actually I have to tidy my sock drawer and match up some pairs........then of course there is the garage to paint and the lawn to cut.................They will just have to find someone else for the film..................
