Today portal deadline.com unveiled news that Sacha Baron Cohen has refused to participate in the filming biopic about the legendary singer of the twentieth century, lead singer Freddie Mercury of Queen. According to the portal, the reason for disagreement with the leadership of the movie actor became fundamentally different outlook on the rating of the film. Producers want to assign the movie rating PG, which allows children to allow for viewing in the presence of parents, Cohen insists on the rating R, according to which the film is allowed to view adult-only audience. Both sides can be understood - the producers are worried about increasing audiences and box office, and Sasha said that not all the details of the controversial biography of Mercury can be in the film rating, admitting children from watching.
