I have read reports that Robert DeNiro's production company is developing a biographical film about the life of Freddie Mercury with Johnny Depp perhaps taking the lead role.

If true, what do you think of Depp as Mercury? At least with people such as DeNiro and Depp involved, with their level of 'status', it may turn out to be a quality production.

I'd love to see a movie about Freddy Mercury.
I don't know how Johnny Depp would do in it. He is a great actor, and would probably bring the audiences to the cinema.
Mercury was a talented individual, and a very misunderstood man.
We lost a wonderful musician the day he died.

A movie on the life of Freddie Mercury would be interesting. I might actually see something like that.

Of course, Sue, I'd like to see a movie on the life of Herb Alpert first.

Depp's a great actor, but that would surely be a challenging role; would like to see it..

Are there any new developments on that?
And for that matter any news on the Keith Moon bio starring Mike Meyers?

I believe Roger Daltrey was involved in the production of that one but was lacking in funds.

There was a rumor a few months ago that Sacha Baron Cohen was in contention for the role of Freddie, but his publicist says that's "absolutely untrue." I haven't heard anything else about Depp or the movie in general.

About Moon: According to this source, filming will finally begin next January. Interesting to see how Myers will do with that kind of role.

I would be interested in seeing a biopic about Freddy Mercury. I think Johnny Depp would be perfect for the role. He is one of the greatest actors of our generation, and I'm sure he would be a fitting portrayer of this great rock and roll front man.
