It has been confirmed that Sacha Baron Cohen (The Ali G Show, Borat) will star as frontman Freddie Mercury in the long-gestating Queen biopic. He will also produce, write and direct the film.
The band's manager Jim Beach made the announcement during the Artist & Management Awards in London, saying "You have probably followed the saga of the famous Queen-Freddie Mercury biopic which has been developing in Hollywood for the last seven years. An important breakthrough is that we have now managed to persuade Sacha Baron Cohen to write, produce and direct this movie, and he has also agreed to star."
