According to CBS News, Sacha Baron Cohen has signed on to play Freddie Mercury, the late lead singer of Queen, in a yet-to-be named biopic. The screenplay is being written by Peter Morgan (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, Frost/Nixon) and no director has been chosen as of yet.
I think this is a great opportunity for Cohen to show his actual acting talent. He obviously has the look, and he has appeared in a musical before (Sweeney Todd), so apparently he can sing. I'm interested to see what comes of this.
What do you think?
