"Johnny Depp has officially been chosen to star and mimic Freddie Mercury in the upcoming movie next year.

PIRATES Of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is in line to play Freddie Mercury in a Hollywood biopic.

The movie, planned for next year, is being developed by Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions and will focus on Mercury's life, from his birth in Zanzibar in 1946 to his AIDS-related death in 1991, when he was just 45.

Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor will have the final say over the music in the film - which will see Depp 43, miming to Mercury's original vocal recordings.

Mercury's long-term girlfriend, Mary Austin said: 'I can't think of anyone better to play Freddie.' "

Depp as Mercury? Sure, why not. Depp is an amazing actor. If nothing else it will be interesting.

ew. just don't even make the movie. I love Mercury and Depp is to lame to play him.

I read that he was gonna play Michael from INXS in a movie.

Then play Sweeny Todd in another!

I could see it. Just sit and picture him with that big fat stache. (lol - kinda sic).

Just as long as he portrays Mr. Manson in a biopic i'm good with anything he does in the meantime.
