If you love English songs, at least one Queen song will be among your favourite tracks. Some of the British rock band's eternally popular songs have made it so many Hollywood movies and series. At the top of my head, I can remember We Will Rock You in the late Heath Ledger's A Knight's Tale, Bohemian Rhapsody in DC's Suicide Squad and Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) tearing off his shirt to We Are the Champions in The Big Bang Theory. And if you love Queen's songs, you will be excited to hear that a movie is being made on the bad, focusing on the lead singer, the legendary Freddie Mercury.
Emmy award-winning, Rami Malek (Mr Robot) is playing the lead in Bohemian Rhapsody. Earlier when the teaser came out, we had seen how perfectly cast he is at the controversial pop star. Now the first official trailer is out, and our views remain the same - despite retaining some of his Mr Robot quirks, Rami Malek is so aptly cast in the role, that we are betting on an Oscar nod for him next year. The trailer shows how he and his band members went onto create their legendary discography, while also showing glimpses of Mercury's much-talked-about sexuality and romantic relationships.

Even if the movie turns out to be bad (let's hope not), at least Bohemian Rhapsody will make us tap our feet with the tracks they have included in the movie. The movie was in news with the original director Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, X-Men: Days of Future Past) was fired over creative differences and Dexter Fletcher (Eddie the Eagle) was brought in as a replacement. Released by 20th Century Fox, Bohemian Rhapsody is aiming for November 2 release.
