The planned film on the life of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury is moving along, according to Brian May on Queen Online.
"Work is now fully under way for the much-vaunted feature film on the life of Freddie. Peter Morgan has delivered a first draft of the movie, which everyone is very excited about, and Sacha Baron Cohen is chomping at the bit to get into the role, in a way which certainly would delight Freddie ! The whole team now working on preparing for a shoot later this year, and a release in the late Autumn of 2012."
Cohen, of Borat fame, is set to play Mercury in the film with the script being written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen) and is being financed by GK Films who will produce in partnership with Robert DiNiro's Tribeca Productions.
May also revealed that a script has also been developed for We Will Rock You: The Movie, based on the jukebox musical that has been playing around the world built around the music of Queen.
