QUEEN - Musique, film, nouveautés diverses... Topic unique

Ça y est, c'est enfin officiellement confirmé: le film sur Queen se fait.
Après le projet avec Sacha Baron Cohen qui était tombé à l'eau (dommage, ça aurait été intéressant !), puis Ben Whishaw (Q dans les derniers James Bond) c'est finalement Rami Malek (Mr Robot) qui jouera Freddie Mercury
Et c'est Bryan Singer (Usual Suspects, X-Men) qui réalise.

L'historique du projet est bien racontée sur wiki: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody_(film)

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY – Now heading for the Big Screen

Yes folks, it IS finally happening.  You’ve been hearing rumours about Bohemian Rhapsody The Film for some time, but now QOL is about to become your most direct source of official information.  This will be the place to come to stay ahead of all the very latest news and updates as the film gets underway – and hopefully we’ll have some regular insider information to share with you too.

So starting right now, here's what we can confirm at this stage.

Award winning director Bryan Singer is the man who will be bringing the Queen and Freddie story alive. If you’ve ever seen Singer’s X-Men films, or the groundbreaking movie The Usual Suspects, you’ll know this is a director with extraordinary imagination and style. A perfect choice to recreate the fabulous Queen years which brought us such unforgettable moments as Live Aid, which we can reveal will be faithfully recreated for a key sequence the film. More on that very soon.

Rami Malek has signed up to take on the challenging rôle of Freddie Mercury.  Who could imagine a more perfect fit than this brilliant actor ? At this stage you probably know him best for TV’s Mr Robot.  Roger and Brian told QOL: “Rami has great presence and he’s utterly dedicated to the project. He’s completely  living and breathing Freddie already, which is wonderful.”

Roger and Brian of course are serving as the film’s executive music producers.

After months of speculation, QOL can also confirm that the film is now ‘as-close-as-that’ to start of shooting.  Pre-production begins next week in the UK to prepare for start of principal photography in around London as soon as mid-September.

You are probably wondering, who will play Roger, Brian and John???  That, friends, is news for another day, and just one good reason for you to make QOL and Queen Facebook your regular stops to check in for the very latest updates, and who, knows, maybe even one or two exclusives.

Come back soon. You don’t know what you might be missing. Hint: Fancy being in the film?

Freddie Mercury / Rami Malek


Johnny Flynn, pressenti pour jouer Roger Taylor

Pour interpréter Brian May, c'est Shaun le Mouton qui aurait été retenu :

Il est excellent Rami Malek, j'ai hâte de voir ce que ça va donner dans ce rôle.

On connait le casting pour le groupe:

As already well known Rami Makek will be Freddie:
Rami Malek takes the role of Freddie Mercury.


Gwilym Lee will be Brian May


Ben Hardy will play Roger Taylor


Joe Mazzello will portray John Deacon



For information about the actors - check out the BIOS.

J'ai hâte de voir la moumoute de l'acteur qui va jouer Brian May.

Premières photos:


The Bo Rhap Boys !!!! Or you could maybe call them the New Queen ? These great guys are already living and breathing their roles as us in our youthful prime. Left to Right: Joe Mazzello as JD, Gwilym Lee as BM, Ben Hardy as RT, Rami Malek as FM. Honoured !


And here for comparison is Freddie himself - right ? Wrong. This is Rami revving up for the performance of his life. The whole thing is truly breathtaking now the production is taking shape. It feels like a rocket taking off. Shooting begins Friday.


And here's a great moment for me - meeting the fine actor who is playing me, the Young Bri, in the Movie - Gwilym Lee. This was our very first moment together three weeks ago - but I had to sit on this picture until the announcement was made. Today we spent some quality time connecting - talking guitars and philosophy ! And actually throwing some licks around ! Amazing times.

As the clock ticks down to an imminent start of production we can reveal further casting of a major figure in the Bohemian Rhapsody story : Lucy Boynton is to play Freddie Mercury’s lifelong companion Mary Austin, for whom Freddie reputedly wrote ‘ Love of my Life’.


Apparemment ils ont recréé des pochettes du groupe avec les visages des acteurs !



En attendant, réédition en coffret super mega de luxe de News of the World pour le 40eme anniversaire de l'album:



Queen – News Of The World – 40th Anniversary Edition
Pre-order now: https://queen.lnk.to/NOTW40

A special box set of Queen's landmark 1977 album News of the World is here, marking the 40th anniversary of the original release.

The new package includes the original album on CD, plus two further CDs of recently unearthed out-takes and rarities from the band's archives, one of which is a newly created ‘alternative’ version of the whole album – Raw Sessions.

For many Queen devotees, this Raw Sessions CD will be the most intriguing component of the new release. Mined deep from long-vaulted studio multi-track tapes, this extraordinary parallel album brings to light never-before-heard alternative versions of each of the album’s 11 tracks. Every lead vocal is different, as are most of the lead guitar parts and a great many other instrumental details. Here we experience We Are The Champions anew, with many unfamiliar vocal and instrumental elements, and for the first time at its full-recorded length rather than the edited 1977 album cut. Here also is the chance to discover peak era Freddie Mercury vocals on a track that nobody outside Queen’s inner circle has heard him sing before at all – Brian May’s All Dead, All Dead. The original album version features May himself on vocals. Roger Taylor’s Sheer Heart Attack can be heard with its original long-lost guitar intro and uncut ending. Taylor’s other song, Fight From The Inside, is more remarkable in that we hear his demo vocal worked on in his home studio in preparation for the next sessions.

Another outstanding feature of this weighty 40th anniversary box is a pure analogue re-cut of the original vinyl LP, direct from the unmastered analogue master mix tapes. There is also a rich selection of NOTW related memorabilia including three posters and a 60-page book of images, mostly previously unseen.

The package is completed with a brand new one-hour DVD documentary, Queen : The American Dream, created from backstage material filmed during Queen’s 1977 USA News of the World tour.

Vidéo bloquée.

Le réalisateur a été viré en plein tournage !

Queen Movie Director Bryan Singer Has Been Fired

Plutôt commode dans ce contexte de chasse (légitime) aux prédateurs sexuels (parce que oui, Singer avait fait parlé de lui au moment de X-Men Days of Future Past pour avoir eu un comportement déplacé avec un mineur, mais sans que ça fasse plus de vagues à l'époque)

Voici le teaser de la bande annonce qui ne devrait pas tarder:


Un "behind the scenes":



Et l'affiche du film !

L'affiche est plutôt classe.

Bon, apparemment la production du film a été catastrophique, avec un changement de réalisateur au milieu du projet, donc j'ai un peu peur du résultat, mais j'ai très envie que ce soit bien!

Sinon, je vous ai dit que j'étais dans un groupe de reprise de Queen? Ca s'appelle King!

Oui tu nous l'as dit.
D'ailleurs vous avez pas un peu abusé sur le tempo de Fat Bottomed Girls ?  

Ah, voila la bande annonce :  


***Bohemian Rhapsody - Official Teaser Trailer***

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet.

The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.

Le tempo fait drôle au début sur les choeurs, mais après sur les couplets je trouve que ça arrache bien comme il faut. Le plus dur c'est de revenir à la version originale derrière, ça parait tout mou! Il faut un petit temps d'adaptation entre les deux en fait.


Et je sais bien que je l'avais déjà dit, mais j'allais quand même pas rater une occasion pareille de propagander!!!

le dernier film qui a eu un changement de real en plein milieu c'est Justice league et quand on voit la cata que ça a donné, ça fait peur.
qui qui a repris le flambeau de Singer?

Dexter Fletcher.  

D'après Edith c'était lui le réal prévu à l'époque du deuxième projet inabouti, celui avec Ben Whishaw comme acteur principal (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody_(film)#Deuxi%C3%A8me_projet_avec_Dexter_Fletcher_et_Ben_Whishaw_(2013-2014))
