From the forensic detail of the sets and costumes, to a soundtrack that takes in unreleased live tracks, this is a time machine for Queen fanatics. But it would be nothing without the lead performance of Rami Malek, whose note-perfect turn is the puzzle piece that May never thought they\u2019d find. \u201cHe absolutely smashed it,\u201d the guitarist says.\u201cIt\u2019s not enough to look the part. He inhabits Freddie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you ever think that this project wouldn\u2019t make it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, there were about a thousand moments when we doubted it was going to get made. It was a very bumpy ride, but that\u2019s the way life is sometimes. Things are not always straightforward, and perhaps in the end they\u2019re better for it. In a way it mirrors the actual history of the band. We hardly had a smooth path in Queen, but some of those moments of adversity do make you stronger, and it\u2019s the same for the film. I wouldn\u2019t even hesitate to say I think it\u2019s wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you feel when you watch it \u2013 happy, sad, nostalgic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of that, yeah. Joy and horror and sadness and all those big emotions. I\u2019ve seen it hundreds of times now, in fragments and eventually coming together, and it still gets me, I must say. It\u2019s very emotional. It\u2019s all about Freddie. Yes, we are in there, but the story is about Freddie and that was always the aim. Obviously Freddie is so precious to us. One of the great breakthroughs early on was [screenwriter] Peter Morgan saying: \u201cThis is a film about family.\u201d It\u2019s about all the stuff that happens in a family \u2013 some good, some bad, the going away, the searching for independence and then the nurture of the family. It\u2019s a film about that stuff, on one level, and then it\u2019s about Freddie\u2019s emerging talent, his amazing resilience and sense of humour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The film ends with\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/features\/queen-at-live-aid-the-real-story-of-how-one-band-made-rock-history\" data-track-type=\"click\" data-index=\"1\" data-component=\"Inline links\" data-count=\"4\"><strong>Queen playing Live Aid<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0in 1985. Was there a temptation to go beyond that?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. I think there\u2019s a natural culmination there. And that has pretty much always been the case, from the earliest scripts. We felt that was the pinnacle \u2013 despite what some people have said in the press, who know fuck-all about it. Somebody who shall be nameless said: \u201cOh, they\u2019re going to portray Freddie dying in the middle of the movie, and then the rest of it is gonna be about life without Freddie.\u201d Well, complete bullshit. This is all about Freddie, and I think Live Aid is a good point to leave it. Who knows, there might be a sequel [laughs].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was playing at Live Aid one of the best days to be a member of Queen?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was an amazing moment. And pretty much unexpected, because we were the last band to be booked on the bill, and it was all sold-out before we were even announced. So we knew it wasn\u2019t a Queen audience, and we went on not expecting much, feeling a bit like the outsiders. To see that response was mind-blowing. And you\u2019ll see that in the film \u2013 and from our point of view, too, which is what you can\u2019t get from a documentary. You\u2019re looking at a fantasy recreation, but it\u2019s astonishingly real.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bordeaux-image-check\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazy-image lazy-image-loading optional-image lazyautosizes lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" sizes=\"602px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm-650-80.jpg 650w\" alt=\"Bohemian Rhapsody: Live Aid\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm-320-80.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm-650-80.jpg 650w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/TWEmiuRv9MMrRr2qn2Mvhm.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finding the right person to play Freddie was always going to be a nightmare, wasn\u2019t it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think we all thought it would be difficult. At some points we thought it was impossible. But along came Rami, and we had a great feeling immediately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I suppose if Sacha Baron Cohen had kept the lead role, you\u2019d never have found Rami?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, that was a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/brian-may-lashes-out-at-sacha-baron-cohen\" data-track-type=\"click\" data-index=\"2\" data-component=\"Inline links\" data-count=\"4\">near-disaster<\/a>. I think we realised just in time what a disaster that was going to be. And it actually wasn\u2019t rocket science to figure that out. But yeah, that\u2019s one of the rocks that we nearly hit. I think we were all nervous in the beginning, when the casting process was going on. Because yes, that\u2019s a real tough thing to contemplate \u2013 somebody playing the part of you. The guy who plays me, Gwilym Lee, I spent a lot of time with him, so he understood me. He\u2019d be picking up my mannerisms and what makes me tick. So when Freddie and me are in the studio, confronting each other, it\u2019s very real. Some of it was improvised, but they did it with the knowledge that they understood us from the inside out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it an entirely flattering portrayal of Freddie, or does it show his flaws, too?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it shows everything. Nobody thinks Freddie\u2019s perfect, but he sure was unusual. You see it all. Not in a gratuitous way. It\u2019s not meant to be messy and licentious, and I think that was a good decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But it\u2019s not a druggy rock movie?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. It didn\u2019t need to be. All that stuff is in there. But you don\u2019t need to be revelling in scenes of debauchery. Not that Freddie was particularly debauched anyway. I know some people were looking for that. But no, it\u2019s a film which portrays the truth, in a fairly gritty and honest but also entertaining way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ngradio.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/aup5prwUWKXCXiqJhTxMEd-650-80.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-90397\" src=\"https:\/\/ngradio.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/aup5prwUWKXCXiqJhTxMEd-650-80.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ngradio.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/aup5prwUWKXCXiqJhTxMEd-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/ngradio.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/aup5prwUWKXCXiqJhTxMEd-650-80-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think Freddie would have approved of and liked the film?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-12-2290\"><\/div>\n<p>I do. I think he would have felt it was a fair cop, really. It shows all his greatness and all his fallibility and insecurity \u2013 the whole bit. I think it shows him very truthfully and not sycophantically, but in a way that appreciates his talent. Because he was sure was unique. I\u2019ve never met anybody like Freddie in my life, before or since, and it\u2019s probably not going to happen again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-11-1901\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Do you think Freddie could have been a good film star?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-10-1846\"><\/div>\n<p>No. He didn\u2019t have the patience. He was offered a residency in the West End at one point, and he said: \u201cYeah, I\u2019ll do it. How many shows a week?\u201d They said: \u2018Eight.\u201d And he said: \u201cI\u2019ll do a couple.\u201d He didn\u2019t like repeating stuff. Patience was not one of Freddie\u2019s virtues. I think he would have found it difficult turning up every day on the set. I don\u2019t think that would have lasted long [laughs].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which is your favourite scene in the film?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-8-1403\"><\/div>\n<p>My favourite Rami moment is when Freddie is plucking up the courage to tell us he\u2019s going off to do his solo album. It\u2019s a wonderful piece of acting \u2013 and a lot of that wasn\u2019t in the script. And when I watch it I feel that is so Freddie. He\u2019d talk quietly, puff on his cigarette, not want to come out with the words. Eventually he did it \u2013 in a very cut-and-dry manner. But you can see the angst inside. That scene nearly got cut from the movie \u2013 that\u2019s a little secret \u2013 just because there\u2019s always this pressure to make things shorter. But we fought for that scene to stay in, because the realism of it is quite gut-wrenching. That was a difficult moment for us. It\u2019s Freddie kinda leaving his family.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-2-699\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve also updated your\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/news\/brian-may-to-publish-queen-in-3d-in-may\" data-track-type=\"click\" data-index=\"3\" data-component=\"Inline links\" data-count=\"4\"><strong>Queen In 3-D book<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0with exclusive photos from the film set.

In the early days with [director] Bryan Singer, it was very taut and tense, and I didn\u2019t feel some of the time that I ought to be there \u2013 I felt like I was interfering in the process. But nevertheless I was, and I took the camera and captured some moments in the shooting. In the latter part, when Dexter Fletcher took over the direction, it was like a different universe, with everybody very jolly and relaxed. I think the movie benefits from both regimes; it has a very serious undercurrent, but also has some lightness, a lot of real joy and fun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-image-1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"bordeaux-image-check\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" lazy-image lazy-image-loading optional-image lazyautosizes lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" sizes=\"602px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB-650-80.jpg 650w\" alt=\"Bohemian Rhapsody movie\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.loudersound.com\/media\/img\/missing-image.svg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB-320-80.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB-650-80.jpg 650w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEWDfpcmQKcfeo2SCZBLeB.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-7-3086\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Do you think the film will satisfy the hardcore Queen fans?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-6-3026\"><\/div>\n<p>Yeah, I think it will. It satisfies us. It makes us feel something. There\u2019s a lot of incredible detail. All our technical people were involved, so if you look around at the guitars and amps you see on stage at Live Aid, you\u2019ll see they\u2019re pretty damn perfect and correct. And the guys who built the Live Aid set itself [for the film] were the guys who built the original. Of course, there\u2019ll always be things you can find fault with. There is no such thing as a perfect film, and Queen fans will understand when they see it that certain things have been moved around for the story to make sense. You can\u2019t collapse forty years of a person\u2019s life into two and a half hours without cutting out a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-5-2318\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>I heard that even Roger Taylor\u2019s socks are period-correct.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about the socks. To be honest, not all of the clothes are exact reproductions by any means, but the significant details are pretty much there. Once the film was in motion, it was not our film any more, it was Fox\u2019s film. They were paying the bills. So we certainly didn\u2019t go into the studio and tell people what to do. If there was something which really rankled \u2013 something that was obviously not right \u2013 then we would say it very quietly to the director and let him sort it out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-3-1765\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Did you really play your Red Special guitar with a violin bow, like in the film trailer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. The funny thing is, the trailer people work from film stock which is their own. So a lot of what\u2019s in the trailers is not in the movie. The scene with me and the bow was shot as part of a bunch of experimental things. We weren\u2019t there for the shoot. And when I saw it I went: \u201cNo, that\u2019s not what happened. And don\u2019t let\u2019s even pretend it happened, because that\u2019s a Jimmy Page thing, that\u2019s not me.\u201d But the trailer people liked it. That\u2019s all I can say. But no, you won\u2019t see that in the movie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-1-1176\">\n<p><strong>The soundtrack includes your unreleased Live Aid set, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-0-1110\">\n<p>Yeah. There\u2019s some good live stuff, some of which hasn\u2019t been on albums before. But also, there\u2019s some of the early stuff that wasn\u2019t recorded at the time. For instance, Freddie coming to see me and Roger play as Smile. That\u2019s all depicted in the movie. And we were able to recreate some of those bits of music, which was a lot of fun. Tim Staffell [Smile vocalist] actually came in and recorded it with us, so on the movie soundtrack album there\u2019s a Smile track [<em>Doing All Right<\/em>].<\/p>\n<div class=\"slot-double-height-0-628\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Do you think you could you handle being part of the Hollywood machine in the longer term, or would that life eventually give you a nervous breakdown?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s funny what you can adapt to. You can enjoy being a part of it for a while, but it\u2019s heavy duty. The figures \u2013 in terms of money \u2013 are a hundred times bigger than what we deal with every day. It\u2019s a different world. And the amount of wastage is incredible. But a lot of wonderful things happen. And I think there\u2019s some magic in this film.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queen guitarist Brian May on Rami Malek, Roger Taylor&#8217;s socks, and what Freddie would have made of it all&#8230; Brian May can laugh about it now: the fired directors, the departed leading men, the eight agonising years when the Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, crawled through production, up among the ...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":90550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13867,4547],"tags":[11486,4694,3431],"class_list":["post-90396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cinema-tv","category-music-en","tag-bohemian-rhapsody","tag-interview","tag-queen"],"acf":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
