Borat turned into Freddie Mercury

You can apply to this as you like, but I just choked with indignation. How is it - some unbalanced Cohen - and of Freddie?

Sacha Baron Cohen will play Freddie Mercury in a new film about the life of a famous musician. The name of the new project, which will begin shooting in 2011, as well as details of the plot has not been revealed. It is known that in the center of the story is the life and work of Mercury and the group Queen, until the mid 80-ies of the last century (the famous concert Live Aid, in particular).

Producing project will be Graham King (winner of the "Oscar" for the best film in 2007's "The Departed," Martin Scorsese), and production - the company GK Films. The script writes Peter Morgan, who worked on such films as "The Last King of Scotland" and "Hereafter».

It is reported that the film will feature hits such as the Queen Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Another One Bites The Dust and You're My Best Friend. Will Cohen himself sing songs, or authors of the picture will take advantage of Mercury Records - not reported.
