The Freddie Mercury biopic BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY has had an interesting journey, as at one point BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen was pushing to play Mercury, but the role eventually went to Rami Malek. Bryan Singer was the original director, but thanks to controversial sexual allegations, he was removed and replaced with Dexter Fletcher. Today we get a new look at the film, which like the first trailer looks rather great. Aside from Rami Malik, the cast also includes Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, Aiden Gillen, Tom Hollander, and Mike Myers. Take a look at the newest official trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie 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. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. Facing a life-threatening illness, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.
