Johnny Depp as Freddie Mercury? - GoFuckYourself.com

fuzzylogic · 01-30-2007, 02:22 AM

MTV News reports that Jack Sparrow himself is in talks to play Freddie Mercury in a movie being developed by Robert De Niro?s Tribeca Productions.

Do you think this is a good casting?

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 01-30-2007, 02:28 AM

Sure, why not?

ADG Webmaster

lusciousness · 01-30-2007, 02:35 AM

yea why not?Depp is a good actor...

Mutt · 01-30-2007, 02:40 AM

absolutely - he's the best choice of any well known star for the job. johnny depp is the best american actor of his generation.

reynold · 01-30-2007, 02:46 AM

I think he can pull that off.

Gentle_Ben · 01-30-2007, 02:53 AM

hes a great actor

flashfire · 01-30-2007, 02:56 AM

he would do a great job

he-fox · 01-30-2007, 03:35 AM

Good choice

who · 01-30-2007, 04:36 AM

There's no better character actor in the world.

wyldworx · 01-30-2007, 04:53 AM

I have to agree with who there, from 21 jump street to Edward scissorhands and finally movies like blow and Pirates of the Carribean.... He mastered his rolls in each.

Praguer · 01-30-2007, 06:05 AM

I am not sure he is the ideal casting for the role, but then again what are the options?

They need a top actor for the role, but who else can play Freddy Mercury without looking overacted and fake ?

blonda80 · 01-30-2007, 06:06 AM

I love them both

Scott McD · 01-30-2007, 06:07 AM

As long as he doesn't have to sing, then yeah...

I <3 Johnny.

Narfle · 01-30-2007, 06:17 AM

I dont know.

Im inclined to scream "boooooo!".

If he can pull it off as well as Val Kilmer pulled off Morrison, then i'll regret booing, but i really dont think that johnny depp will do a decent/good job. I really dont think hes that good an actor, and i think more people would agree if they started thinking about the roles he have had.

A drunken pirate?
Didnt really like him as Willy Wonka.
Wasnt very good in the Secret Window/From Hell/Sleepy Hollow roles.
Benny & Joon?

Only roles i kinda liked him in was Gilbert Grape really, and that wasnt a very "difficult" role.

And before casting him to play the greatest modern musical genious, lets try to remember what Johnny did in Crybaby. If that movie hadnt featured Traci Lords and Iggy Pop, i would have shot myself in the face when i watched it.

Not trying to be negative, i just dont think Johnny Depp is that good an actor and i think its obvious when hes given more demanding roles : )

And i think the role of Freddie Mercury deserves a great actor. Im hoping that if they will make the movie they will cast someone 'better' and less known really.

Even though thats the kinda thinking that gave us elijah wood as frodo (someone kill that kid please).

Sarah_Jayne · 01-30-2007, 06:22 AM

I think he could do it...if Sascha Baron Cohen had any real acting talent he would do a good visual job.

E$_manager · 01-30-2007, 06:34 AM

He doesn't look like Mercury but he is a perfect actor . May be it is a good idea.

No, Depp a fantastic character actor. Look at his Jack Sparrow - does he act like that in every role? no

Violetta · 01-30-2007, 07:05 AM

oh... Im looking forward to that movie! Guess lots of gay people does too!

Narfle · 01-30-2007, 07:07 AM

Well yes he does, pretty much

I agree its not as bad as Nicholas Cage, but its still true.

Pirates movies, which takes a lot from how he played his "Eccentric Noble" type character.

Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Charlie & Chocolate Factory, (Secret Window), From Hell, Ninth Gate.

And his "hurt emotional guy" roles. Crybaby, Scissorhands, Chocolat and more according to my girlfriend. I couldnt stand him in those roles, so i stopped watching those type movies

In general i think it was hard for him to shake 21 Jump Street.

And in restrospect, you were probably sarcastic in your post so i just made a dufus out of meself

pornpf69 · 01-30-2007, 07:08 AM

what is the problem with that?

J.R. · 01-30-2007, 07:31 AM

As a HUGE Freddy fan, I would have to say NO. I don't think the camparison is strong enough. But, Johnny Depp has a way of making a role his own and really becoming convincing. So.. who knows.

WebairGerard · 01-30-2007, 07:40 AM

I think he is a great choice for the part

Bummer. I'm sure that you will end up regreating that "boooo" lol. Johnny Depp is one of if not THEE best character acter ever. Also remember such films as "Ed Wood" etc. I can understand that it is your opinion and that you only enjoyed him in a couple of flicks, where I on the other hand have enjoyed every single Depp movie and thought that he was fantastic.

I disagree with you on the "Cry Baby" flick. That was an awesome movie, with or without Tracy Lords and Iggy...come on..."Hatchet Face?" LOL

I personally think that Depp will be able to pull off this character better than anyone else out there. But again, that is my opionion and I am glad to see that others share that with me

I LOVES me some Johnny Depp :P

PS Benny and Joon was an amazing movie...IMO!

gornyhuy · 01-30-2007, 07:59 AM

Do you think he'll have to do a gay gangbang scene?

Will he wear false giant teeth?

Onixia · 01-30-2007, 08:02 AM

hes the most beautifull actor of present

SxDx · 01-30-2007, 08:07 AM

i could see that

SomeCreep · 01-30-2007, 08:07 AM

yea, as long as he has a huge stache, he can pass as Freddy.

And I would imagine he'll be bringing back out those chompers from "Willie Wonka" :P

He's perfect for the role

Klen · 01-30-2007, 09:19 AM

It's actualy depend how good is his vocal possibilites.

xcitecash · 01-30-2007, 10:30 AM

Why not Mr depp is the finest actor of the last 10-15 years..

but can he sing ..

apparantly there is a kid coming who can sing like mercury ....if i remember his name i will let you know

Mr. Romance · 01-30-2007, 10:32 AM

Depp is the best..He will nail tha part..they looks some what alike

Mr. Romance

pornguy · 01-30-2007, 10:35 AM

I am surprised that he would be willing to play him. Depp has been playing only in movies that he wants his kids to be able to see. So playing the part of a Gay man??? Hmmmm.

I know a guy that looks exactly like Freddy M, but he could not play the part

maxsweet · 01-30-2007, 10:45 AM

Its a much better casting decision than Elijah Wood playing Iggy Pop or Mike Meyers playing Keith Moon.

Yes it's true:

LustyBucks · 01-30-2007, 10:55 AM

Although Depp is not Al Pacino or De Niro - I believe he is good enough to play Mercury.

escorpio · 01-30-2007, 10:57 AM

12clicks was born to play Freddie.

BigCashCrew · 01-30-2007, 11:07 AM

He will do a good job playing him.

Sydney Sin · 01-30-2007, 11:08 AM

good actor for sure and he can pass for him, physically

But Freddie isnt a 'character' :) Anyway, i will probably regret my "booo" (which i was hesitant about giving in the first place :) ), im just a very big Queen fan and i wasnt too hot on when George Michael tried to pretend he was Freddie either. We probably have different expectations :)

Who is a good actor to you? Adam Sandler? :1orglaugh

I must remind you that i didnt say Depp is "the worst" or "not the best", i just said i dont think hes that good. I dont agree that hes one of the two best actors of their generation either. I think Cuba Gooding Jr is way better fx. Hell, i even think Kevin Spacey is better and more vertasile.

My all-time favorite is William DaFoe (or is it spelled Willem DaFoe?) though.

And if you mean funny men, then ali G, Will Ferrel, Mike Myers, Carrey or Stiller are all superior to Adam Sandler imo (even though sandlers song "Secret" still have a special place in my heart).

Or, if you prefer your own format:

"Dude, X and Y are best. What do you like? Z? lol."
