Bohemian Rhapsody was released on November 3, 2018, and the fascinating story behind one of the most influential groups ever continues to be unbelievably popular. However, some things shown in the movie kinda differ from the truth. For example, toward the end of the movie, shortly before the legendary performance, Freddie (played by the magnificent Rami Malek) announces to his band members that he is HIV positive. This scene makes an emotional and raw ending. Nonetheless, things went completely differently in reality. So, this video's for those who wanna know more about the shooting process and the true life story of Freddie Mercury and Queen... TIMESTAMPS: The creators built an exact copy of Wembley Stadium for the movie 1:05 The Pepsi glasses you can see on the piano weren't a product placement 1:39 Queen didn't have any doubts about performing at Live Aid 2:17 Some of the vocal recordings for the film were done by Marc Martel 2:58 Mike Myers had previously appeared in a film listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” 3:41 Queen didn't break the contract with EMI 4:20 Bohemian Rhapsody should've been directed by someone else 4:45 Freddie became a part of the band through Tim Staffell 5:12 “We Will Rock You” was written much earlier 6:04 Freddie Mercury wasn't the only one who tried to go solo 6:39 Freddie Mercury didn't know he was sick until 1987 7:29 The official soundtrack includes previously unreleased songs 8:24 #freddiemercury #queen #bohemianrhapsody Music by Epidemic Sound https://ift.tt/1NOjjY3 SUMMARY: - The director of Live Aid was present during filming and was pleasantly surprised with how precise the reconstruction was. - Some people pointed out that the creators added some very visible Pepsi product placement in the movie during the Live Aid scene. If you watch the original performance, you'll see these glasses on Mercury's piano too. - But the true story is way less poetic than that. The pause in Queen's work didn't last for more than a year. Plus, in February 1984 they released a new album called The Works. - Several years ago, Marc sent his cover versions of Queen songs to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were amazed by the similarities between Marc's voice and Freddie’s. - The actor, famous for his many roles, including Austin Powers, already listened to and even sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” in character in the movie Wayne's World! - Queen did have some disagreements with EMI during the Night at the Opera era. Still, everything seemed to turn out all right since the band released many more albums with this label. - The first person to take the director's chair was Bryan Singer, and he was actively working on the movie almost from the start. But 20th Century Fox decided to fire him. - In the movie, we see Freddie meeting Roger and Brian after a concert when their frontman, Tim Staffell, decides to leave the project. But it wasn't exactly like that in real life. - In real life, “We Will Rock You” appeared in Queen’s hit album News of the World back in 1977 — several years before the actual concert. - Pretty much every participant of Queen was trying to make their own solo albums work! - The official soundtrack of the movie contains not only several famous songs we all know by heart but another 11 recordings that had not been released!
