We’ve had a couple of pics from the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, but there are plenty of people who’ve really wanted too see footage. That’s not just to see whether Rami Malek does a good job as Freddie Mercury, but whether the film looks it’s going to be okay after the drama of director Bryan Singer getting fired and replaced by Dexter Fletcher.
Now the first teaser trailer and poster is here, so we can get a feel for the long-gestating movie.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet.
‘The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.’
Bohemian Rhapsody is due in UK cinemas on October 24th. [Read more…]
Synopsis: ‘Mary Wollstonecraft’s family disapproves when she and poet Percy Shelley announce their love for each other. The family is horrified when it finds that the couple has eloped, accompanied by Mary’s half-sister, Claire. While staying in the home of Lord Byron at Lake Geneva, the guests are challenged to write a ghost story, which leads Mary to conceive her novel “Frankenstein.”’
In just a few weeks the mutants are returning and facing the awesome power of Apocalypse – an ancient mutant who is so powerful he has been worshipped as a god, and who isn’t impressed with the modern world. The final trailer is here to suggest this is going to be pretty epic.
It’s just over a month until the Apocalypse! Well, until X-Men: Apocalypse anyway, and in anticipation, 20th Century Fox has released a set of character banners mutants old and new. You can take a look at them below.
The timeline may have been reset with X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of problems between man and mutant – or more particularly in Apocaplyse between mutant and mutant. Now a new trailer has dropped which suggests this is going to be one hell of a battle.
Things were pretty precarious for the mutants in Days Of Future Past, but it looks like resetting the timeline hasn’t made their lives any easier. An extended version of the movie’s Super Bowl spot certainly suggests things are getting intense, angry and destructive.
