Le biopic sur Freddie Mercury s’illustre un peu plus avec de nouvelles photos de Rami Malek. La bande-annonce a même été présentée à un parterre de professionnels en attendant que celui-ci n’atterrisse sur nos écrans. L’acteur aurait aussi déclaré pour la présentation :
“When I got this role, I thought, ‘Oh my God, this could be a career-defining performance.’ And then two minutes later I thought, ‘This could be a career killer,’” Malek said during the event. Of Mercury, he added, “He gives everyone watching permission to embrace their imperfections and sing as loudly as they can,. That is what he did for me.”
À noter, Brian May qui aurait vu le film en aurait littéralement chialé et annoncé que Mercury aurait été fier du travail accompli.
The trailer, which has not been released online, opens with Queen’s classic song “Bohemian Rhapsody” playing in the background, as a young Mercury asks to be the lead singer of a band. Retorts one of his future bandmates: “Not with those teeth, mate.” The rest of the trailer is made up of vignettes of Mercury and Queen discovering their sound — “If I go any higher, only dogs will hear it,” Mercury says — finding fame onstage and the singer being questioned about his personal life. The trailer ends with Mercury stepping out onstage at the iconic 1985 Live Aid concert, backed to a track of “We Are the Champions.”
Sortie prévue en fin d’année, le 2 Novembre si tout va bien et malgré le renvoi de Bryan Singer sur la prod.
