Sacha Baron Cohen has been chosen to play Freddie Mercury in Queen Film

Actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has been chosen to play Freddie Mercury in a new movie, which will be in theatres in 2011. There was news about a Freddie Mercury movie in the works a few years ago and at that time, it was Johnny Depp who was the main actor being rumored for the part. Sacha Baron Cohen’s name had also come up at the time, but no actor had been firmly decided for the part at that time. Robert De Niro ’s Tribeca productions will be a co-producer for the film. Freddie Mercury was one of rock’s greatest icons of all time.  He was the lead singer, a song writer, and pianist for the English rock group, Queen. Freddie Mercury was known for his soaring, powerful vocals with over a four-octave range and his flamboyant and dynamic stage presence. As a songwriter, Mercury composed many hits for Queen, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Don’t Stop Me Now, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We are the Champions. Freddie was also a great dancer. Th
