A film biography of late bisexual Queen frontman Freddie Mercury has been confirmed to begin shooting this year.
"Work is now fully under way for the much-vaunted feature film on the life of Freddie," writes Mercury's Queen bandmate Roger Taylor on the group's website. "Peter Morgan (The Queen screenwriter) has delivered a first draft of the movie, which everyone is very excited about, and Sacha Baron Cohen is chomping at the bit to get into the role, in a way which certainly would delight Freddie!
