Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) - OFFICIAL TRAILER

Queen is known as one of the most genre-eclectic bands in history, having put out albums that showcase progressive rock, heavy metal, foot-stomping arena anthems, romantic ballads, hard rock, trad-jazz, funk, glam, opera, pop-rock and everything in between.

At that point in the band's career, extensive rehearsal was not common. The film had a mixed critical reception; the direction, screenplay, and historical inaccuracies were criticized; however, Rami Malek's performance as Freddie Mercury received generally unanimous praise.

With his Oscar win, Rami Malek became the first actor male or female of Arab and Egyptian descent to be nominated for and to win an Academy Award in an acting category and the first to be nominated for and to win Best Actor.

The film's reenactment of Queen's landmark "Live Aid" concert segment was filmed on day one of the production shoot on a stage replica of London's Wembley Stadium at Bovingdon Airfield in Hemel Hempstead.

The original Wembley twin towers were demolished in when the site was being redeveloped. When Queen are about to perform on Top of the Pops , they express their disapproval of being made to lip sync, rather than sing, their song.

When Top of the Pops began in , the producers of the programme decided that performers would lip sync rather than sing their songs.

The British Broadcasting Corporation openly stated this when they promoted the programme. The reason for the producers' decision was that they considered it more ethical and honest for the performers to lip sync than to sing, as the programme promoted the records, and therefore the viewers and the audience members had the right to know exactly how the records sounded.

When Bob Geldof visited the set of the Live Aid sequence he was blown away by the similarity to the historical Live Aid concert he had pioneered decades earlier.

Freddie Mercury's surname comes from a line in the song "My Fairy King" where it goes: "Mother Mercury, look what they've done to me. In celebration of the film's release, Rami Malek appeared on the cover of "GQ" Middle East magazine's launch issue, Egypt being his ancestral home.

The character called Ray Foster never existed in reality but is a composite of several people, plus some dramatic license.

His name is based on Ray Featherstone, who, while expressing doubts about the length of the song "Bohemian Rhapsody," was generally supportive of Queen otherwise.

The movie portrays Freddie holed up in Munich on his own while working on his first solo album Mr. Bad Guy. The audience of about 72, people at Wembley was created using cutting edge digital techniques which allowed the VFX team to perform crowd duplication on a massive scale and at a high level of detail so that repetition of audience members is virtually imperceptible and the crowd can be seen to move and clap differently to each Queen song.

The party scene at Freddie's mansion is a composite of anecdotes from multiple raucous and out-sized birthday parties Freddie Mercury hosted over the years, including the "black and white drag ball" for his 39th birthday, which was attended by revelers who had been flown into Munich for the occasion.

Whilst this may have been true, the band did appear in person on the show several times in the years afterwards to promote their singles with a mimed performance.

This was usually done when EMI released a single but there was no promotional video available to go with it, or at least it was not available at the time of transmission.

The last time they did this was in with the minor hit 'Las Palabras De Amor' and their appearance, which was recorded after the audience had left, ended up becoming the official Queen video for that song.

NB: As was standard policy with the BBC in the s, some of these shows were wiped and the expensive videotape was reused for recording other shows, therefore not all these earlier performances survive.

The band had signed a contract with Sheffield that effectively paid them poverty wages. They had been allowed to use the then state-of-the-art recording equipment on studio 'downtime' i.

This resulted in a massive argument as Sheffield refused to budge or give them an increase. It was only when Jim Beach offered to take over their management that an agreement was reached effectively buying out their contact with Sheffield and ending their relationship with Trident who produced the first albums and released them on a licensing deal through EMI.

However the band were still angry with Sheffield for years after and wrote the song 'Death on Two Legs Dedicated to Sheffield subsequently tried to sue the band for defamation of character despite not actually being named in the song and although the band settled out of court with him, by then he had unwittingly dropped himself in it as the legal papers he filed became public knowledge so any Queen fans who wondered who the song was about now had the mystery solved.

Freddie Mercury purchased the Garden Lodge mansion in It had previously been owned by one of the Hoare banking family members, so Mercury sometimes referred to his home as "The Hoare House.

It is originally the Latin name for the Czech people, but in 19th century Paris acquired its modern meaning. In March of , while on tour in Los Angeles, the members of Queen were invited to have tea at the home of Groucho Marx, the last surviving Marx brother who was 86 years old at the time.

The band presented him with a gold disc and, at his request, performed an a cappella version of '39 from A Night at the Opera. John Reid was only 26 when he started managing Queen, but Aidan Gillen, the actor who portrays him, was actually 49 during filming.

The scene where Freddie throws a brick through Ray Foster's office window is fictitious, but there is an element of truth to it.

In the documentary Queen: Days of Our Lives , former Queen manager John Reid tells the story of Freddie Mercury throwing a brick through his window after Reid walked out on him in the middle of a meal at a restaurant.

The first scene the cast shot was their entrance on stage at Live Aid. The cast had been practicing every little movement for 5 weeks prior and have said they think the production company wanted to know upfront that they could nail this iconic scene.

But producer Graham King said that the reason they filmed it first was because of weather. It was filmed in late October early November, and he didn't want it to get too cold or soggy outside due to London weather being unpredictable sometimes.

Brian May famously does not use a plectrum whilst playing guitar, instead preferring to use a sixpence a pre-decimalisation, i.

In the scene where Ray Foster Mike Myers refuses to release the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" as a single, his reasons are that the song is too long being over six minutes and no radio will play a song that's longer than three.

The joke is that out of the nine songs on "The Dark Side of the Moon", eight are longer than three minutes and the one that was released as a single was "Money" which is over six minutes, just like "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Rami Malek and Joseph Mazzello had known each other for over 10 years and had been good friends prior to shooting the film. Jan Sewell, makeup and hair designer, has said that transforming Rami Malek into Freddie Mercury was more about evoking Mercury's essence than it was fully revamping Malek into an exact Freddie Mercury double.

In the opening moments of the film, as Freddie Mercury climbs the stairs to the stage, the members of U2 can be seen coming off stage.

They are easily recognized by Bono's mid's mullet. Rami Malek worked to painstakingly match his performance - including the smallest gestures and physical ticks - to the now famed recording of Freddie Mercury in Queen's Live Aid set.

Near completion of filming, director Bryan Singer was fired over creative disagreements and his unexplained absences, and replaced by Dexter Fletcher.

Fletcher directed 16 days of filming and oversaw post-production, but the Director's Guild of America DGA deemed that sole credit for directing the movie belonged to Singer.

The situation did not stop the studio from putting Singer's name up for awards consideration as Best Director, though. However, the well-documented troubles during production most likely prevented him from receiving any nominations in that category.

He mentions Led Zeppelin and Phil Collins together because Collins would play drums for Led Zeppelin that day as, back in , drummer John Bonham had died, prompting Led Zeppelin to disband that year.

Meneka Das who plays Freddie Mercury's mother in the film is actually only seven years older than Rami Malek. Queen actually did play lots of Scrabble while on the road.

Roger Taylor has said that he and Freddie would really dig in, and John and Brian would play less often or would drop out of intense games.

Brian once played "lacquers" with the Q on triple score, the word on triple word, and used all 7 of his letters to play it, for a score of points on the play.

Joseph Mazzello has said that "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the very first song he downloaded on Napster. Not mentioned in the film was Queen's controversial decision to perform a series of shows in October of at the Sun City casino and golf resort in South Africa, which was still under the apartheid regime.

The band was subsequently blacklisted by the British Musicians' Union. Though Roger Taylor achieved worldwide acclaim as a drummer, the musician played the ukulele as a child, graduating to guitar as a teenager before moving on to drumming.

He later played guitar in side project The Cross, from to This is the first of two biographical movies about a music icon at least partially directed by Dexter Fletcher.

He also directed the Elton John biopic Rocketman Freddie's white "angel" costume was created by British designer Zandra Rhodes.

Freddie Mercury wore it during Queen's first tour in Japan. Freddie Mercury's parents, Bomi and Jer, hailed from Mumbai and had relocated to Tanzania by the time Freddie was born.

Canadian actor Mike Myers based Ray Foster's slight Scouse accent on parents his parents, who were immigrants from Liverpool.

When Fox became anxious about Bryan Singer's position as director of the film, they approached Ridley Scott as a possible replacement. In reality, John Reid's exit from the world of Queen was an amicable one, though the split is shown to be acrimonious in the film.

The camera used on-screen is the actual camera that photographed Freddie Mercury's very last video, just before he died.

The band Smile of which both Brian May and Roger Taylor were members reunited in its original lineup for the movie, with Tim Staffell on vocals.

It was not their first reunion. On 22 December they performed two songs together at a concert of Taylor's band The Cross. In real life Freddie Mercury's eyes were brown, but in the movie Rami Malek wears no contacts to match the late Freddie's eyes, and instead shows his own green eyes.

London-based movement director and choreographer Polly Bennett, who also worked on The Crown , was brought onto the film production to help Rami Malek bring Freddie Mercury to life through movement and physicality.

With his Best Actor Oscar win for portraying Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek became the sixth Best Actor winner out of the past seven years to win for portraying a real-life person.

Much of the clothing worn by Gwilym Lee Brian May and Ben Hardy Roger Taylor are the actual articles of clothing worn by their respective musicians during key points in the film, including the Live Aid concert.

Both Brian and Roger gladly allowed access to their extensive wardrobe to save the cost on having recreate certain wardrobe outfits.

I love that! That's the kind of song teenagers can crank up the volume in their cars and bang their heads to Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song".

This is an ironic nod to the iconic scene in the film, Wayne's World where Myers and Dana Carvey famously head bang in the car to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

John Reid is portrayed as a character in both Bohemian Rhapsody and in Rocketman , the biopic on Elton John. Rocketman was directed by Dexter Fletcher, who also stepped in to finish the directing work on Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer's departure.

The iconic showman's given name was Farrokh Bulsara. The name "Freddie" emerged as a nickname when Farrokh attended boarding school as a child.

A set of teeth that were designed to be exact size replicas of Mercury's were "massive," according to Malek. Henry Rollins described Queen's Live Aid performance saying, "How many thousand people clapping all at once?

It was like the Nuremberg rallies with a band at it. Steven Spielberg, apparently didn't recognize his Jurassic Park star Joseph Mazzello in his role as Queen's bassist John Deacon, according to the actor himself.

In a commentary on IGN, Mazzello talked about how Spielberg is one of the people he still keeps in contact regularly from his early acting career.

And in talking about their strong connection as friends, he told this story of deception via his acting prowess in Bohemian Rhapsody.

This past year we've been exchanging a bunch of letters. Like literally still handwritten letters, which is amazing.

Just talking about whatever: our careers, and [how] he saw [Bohemian Rhapsody], and he apparently didn't recognize me, because I had the wig on and had a British accent.

He leaned over to his guest, and was like, 'Who is that? Who is that actor? A scene where Mary tells Freddie "I love the way you move on stage.

The whole room belongs to you. Don't you see what you can be? When Bob Geldof first proposed Live Aid, he declared that it would be a one-off event, "never to be seen again".

ABC is the only partner to have erased most of their tapes. Years later, due to popular demand and widespread Internet bootleg copies, Geldof agreed to have the extant tapes primarily from the BBC and MTV collected and restored, and in a DVD box set of most of the performances was released.

No official audio version of the event was released until , which did not include the Queen performance. The "Bohemian Rhapsody" film soundtrack album was the first official audio release of any of Queen's Live Aid performance; it only includes the songs that feature in the film version "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "We Will Rock You" are excluded.

In , the Live Aid audio was re-released on streaming services, adding Queen's songs. However, this version omits the "Eh Oh" impromptu sing-along, which is included on the film soundtrack.

Out of the eight Best Picture nominees, the film tied with Green Book for the least amount of Academy Award nominations, each at five.

However, the film won the most Oscars of all the nominees, winning four. Green Book took Best Picture. Although this goes unmentioned in this movie, A Night at the Opera is also the title of a The Marx Brothers movie - and the title of Queen's next album, 's A Day at the Races was also the title of a Marx Brothers movie.

The first scene shot for the film was the reenactment of the legendary Live Aid set at Wembley. The site was replicated at Bovington Airfield in the county of Hertfordshire, England.

Where's Madonna? Costume designer Julian Day was inspired by Cruising while planning costumes for the s New York gay club scene.

The film actually downplays the friction this song caused within Queen. Brian May and John Deacon considered the song subpar, but songwriter Roger Taylor insisted on its inclusion on the album.

Taylor then went further and locked himself in a cupboard until the band agreed to use the song as the B-side to the "Bohemian Rhapsody" single - which later exacerbated the in-fighting as "Bohemian Rhapsody" was a massive hit, and its B-side generated a massive royalty windfall for Taylor.

Freddie Mercury's last name was picked up from the lyrics of the song 'My Fairy King' on the band's first album. Mary Austin did not give permission to film at Freddie Mercury's real-life London house in Kensington.

A similar looking house in the London suburb of Surbiton was used for these scenes. By coincidence the real-life Queen guitarist Brian May was born and brought up in Hampton, Middlesex, which is located about 3 miles north west of Surbiton, just on the other side of the river Thames.

Director Bryan Singer said that the reason for his sudden absences near the end of filming was to tend to one of his parents who was ill.

After the first official trailer for the film was released on May 15th, , heavy backlash was received due to the "lack of portrayal of Mercury's sexuality.

The final lyrics were mostly the work of Freddie Mercury, who spent a considerable amount of time working on the song - in the words of Brian May, Freddie "hammered [at the song] until his throat bled".

However, in keeping with Queen policy at the time, Deacon received sole songwriter credit. The entire production budget for this film was earned back just from the UK theatrical release box-office takings alone.

When the worldwide box office takings and other media sales are taken into account this means that the film has ultimately been hugely profitable for both the producers and 20th Century Fox who are the distributors.

During the meeting with Ray Foster discussing the band's upcoming record, Freddie tells him "We'll mix genres, we'll cross boundaries, we'll speak in bloody tongues if we want to.

The young roadie passing Freddie his deconstructed microphone during the Live Aid performance could be a depiction of Peter Hince aka "Ratty", who wrote a memoir about his time working as the head of Queen's road crew in the 70s and 80s.

The film shows Mercury's band mates making one request for forgiving him prior to Live Aid: that all songs be credited to "Queen", with all royalties split evenly.

This did eventually happen, but somewhat later: "The Miracle" was the first Queen album credited this way.

For dramatic purposes, the film rearranges the chronology of some events. Conversely, the "Rock in Rio" festival where Queen headlined is portrayed as happening in the late s, but actually happened in January only five months before Live Aid.

In January , just as the film awards season was getting underway, new sexual abuse allegations were published against director Bryan Singer.

Whilst not mentioned in the film, around Freddie Mercury and singer Michael Jackson collaborated for a few weeks on a handful of songs for inclusion on a future Jackson album.

None of the songs were published during Jackson's lifetime, getting only as far as demo recordings after they ended up having a huge disagreement resulting in Mercury quitting the project after Mercury found Jackson's behaviour to be too eccentric for him and Jackson did not approve of Mercury's smoking, drinking, swearing and occasional drug use.

However one of the songs, 'State of shock' was re-recorded with new vocals by Mick Jagger and became a worldwide hit single for The Jackson 5 in For Adam Lambert's first round of auditions before the judges on American Idol , he sang an a cappella version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

In May , shortly after a painful gardening accident that required brief hospitalisation, Brian May suffered a minor heart attack and underwent emergency surgery to place three stents in occluded arteries around his heart.

A week later he spoke on Instagram addressing the incident under the title 'Sheer Heart Attack', a jokey reference to the Queen album of the same name from Although John Deacon born is the youngest member of Queen and Roger Taylor born is the second youngest, Joseph Mazzello born who plays Deacon in the movie is in fact eight years older than his co-star Ben Hardy born who plays Taylor.

In , screenwriter Peter Morgan called producer Graham King, while the latter was working on the film Hugo and told King he wanted him to be involved in bringing a speculative script about the band Queen to the screen.

The "Magic Tour" that followed was the final tour with Freddie Mercury who retired from touring in and passed away in and John Deacon who retired from the band in The song, with Freddie's changes, became Queen's first single, and the opening track on their first eponymous album.

As the band progressed, Freddie would often put his own mark on songs that his bandmates composed. The band name is a two-word variation of the name of a school Petersen attended in Australia.

Despite its early promise based on the industry connections of Petersen and the talent of frontman Kelly, the band only released one single, performed twice on Top of the Pops , and never played a single live gig.

Staffell retired for the most part from music in the late s. There is a small, framed copy of the Marlene Dietrich photo to Mary's left as she stands at the window in Freddie's flat, immediately before the transition to , where he is looking at a poster-sized version of the same shot, in his new mansion.

There are two variants of the song "We Will Rock You". The version shown rehearsed in the film is based on the "standard" version, as recorded in the studio for the "News of the World" album.

The version most often played live, including at Live Aid not shown in the film, but included in a video bonus feature is the "fast" version. The first time was 22 December , at a concert of Taylor's band The Cross, where Smile played two songs.

If you compare the Live Aid scenes side by side with the real Live Aid footage, you can see that the stage scenes match up, right down to Freddie Mercury's actions.

The audience is also slightly different to the original footage. Queen bassist John Deacon retired from music in Following Freddie Mercury's death, he only performed live three times, and helped complete "Made in Heaven" the final full album of new material featuring Mercury.
