That is going to be amazing....one of my favorite bands of all time...epic, classic songs...and one of the most charismatic and interesting actors of his generation...can't wait!! definitely! the only thing a little strange will be how much taller Cohen is, but I'm sure with some Hollywood magic, we won't notice. Plus it might only add to show how big of a personality Freddie could be. edit: Hey! you coming to game on Sunday?!? theyre taking pics for a piece that the Buffalo News is doing on our Bills Backers ATLANTA chapter, running in October. hope to catch you at a game this year!

Unfortunately I'm going to have to work part of Sunday, but I'm determined to get down there to hang with you guys this season! Sounds like a great way to watch a game! I didn't think about Sacha's height...but i agree, they'll find a way to make it happen and look authentic. This is a pruject I'll be wanting to keep an eye on as it develops....thanks for letting us know, I haven't been this excited for a movie project in a long time!

I'll let you know what week the Buffalo Tailgate Party is planned for. That is a Cant-Miss!
ajzepp Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I'll let you know what week the Buffalo Tailgate Party is planned for. That is a Cant-Miss! Nice! That sounds like a blast! I'm glad you reminded me about the ATL backers....almost forgot about them lol
eSJayDee Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Now that you mention it, there is somewhat of a physical resemblance. Wasn't aware that Sacha was that tall, or that FM was short. Then again, if Mel Gibson can play William Wallace & win Oscars for it (MG is probably almost 1' shorter than WW was), accurate representation be damned.
Doc Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Amazing that it's coming up on 19 years since he died. Queen and Zep were the 2 bands I wish I had seen in their heyday. And a fun little fact is that Farrokh Bulsara, aka Freddie Mercury, was Indian. Edited September 17, 2010 by Doc

And a fun little fact is that Farrokh Bulsara, aka Freddie Mercury, was Indian. Queen was probably the first band I really became a fan of. I was born in '72, and I remember getting excited whenever "another one bites the dust" or "we will rock you" woudl come on the radio in the late 70s. Then when the Flash Gordon film came out, I got all excited about that movie and the soundtrack, which Queen wrote/performed, which just solidified my love of their music. Long Live Queen!!!

/dev/null Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Flash Gordon?? He'll save every one of us

If you haven't seen "Highlander," check it out. One of my faves.
ajzepp Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Flash Gordon?? Yes. That's right....Flash FREAKIN' Gordon! Got a problem?
The Poojer Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 saw them on the Jazz tour.....simply amazing... Amazing that it's coming up on 19 years since he died.
