My introduction to Queen came at the height of Mike Myers’ fame when “Wayne’s World” debuted on the big screen wherein Garth and company serenaded us “Bohemian Rhapsody.” This of course was the case for many of us born after the peak of Queen’s glory days.
Music biopics are a tough project to tackle; take the Tupac and Biggie flicks. Despite a strong cast in both works, the delivery felt forced and not enough substance was created to do either artists any justice. Come to think about it, the last good music biopic was “Ray” with Jaimie Foxx. Don’t message me, bruh. “Man in Black” should’ve starred anybody other than Joaquin Phoenix.
Which brings us to the upcoming Queen biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody,’ scheduled for release November 2 starring “Mr. Robot,” Rami Malek. The media promotion shots leading up to the trailer have been nothing short of amazing. Our first introduction as Malek’s metamorphosis to Freddie Mercury lives up to the hype in a clip that does an exemplary job of mashing up Britain’s eccentric icon’s best works. Watch below and tell me you don’t get any goosebumps!?
