Queens roots are the focus of the new trailer for the long-awaited biopicBohemian Rhapsody, which stars Mr. Robots Rami Malek as the late singer Freddie Mercury.
In the trailer, Mercury attends Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and Roger Taylors (Ben Hardy) show while they were performing as Smile. I enjoyed the show, Mercury says. I also, I write songs. Turns out their lead singer had just departed, Mercury becomes their singer and so begins their transformation into Queen. Mercury joined the band in 1970, and the movie traverses Queens rise in the 1970s through their triumphant set at 1985s Live Aid, six years before Mercury died of complications from AIDS.
Beyond tracing the bands beginnings, which tips to Mercurys immediate charisma and the bands chemistry, the trailer also explores the genesis of classic songs Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You. The former showcases Taylors frustration while tracking the operatic Galileo parts of the song. Roger, theres only room for one hysterical queen, Mercury jokingly quips. Desiring to give the audience a song that they can perform, May pens We Will Rock You.
The new clip also highlights the group lamenting their initial lack of radio play, which leads to more musical experimentation. It also hints at rising tensions in the band and on Mercurys personal life.
Heres a man that would sing We Are The Champions in an arena to thousands of people and theyre all singing it back to him, Malek toldRolling Stoneof Mercury. His ability to unify people, no matter who they are, was so far ahead of its time. I cant think of anyone else that was capable of that.
Produced by Graham King, Bohemian Rhapsodyarrives in theaters on November 2nd. The biopic also stars Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee (as Brian May), Ben Hardy (as Roger Taylor), Joseph Mazzello (as John Deacon), Aiden Gillen, Tom Hollander and Mike Meyers.
