This looks really cool. It has a steampunk feel to it, and I love Jack Black and Cate Blanchette. And it's directed by...Eli Roth?! Definitely doesn't look like anything he's ever done.
What a great decision to go with Rami Malek instead of Sasha Baron Cohen.
I’d like to see both movies - a grittier one where Cohen was free to portray the full range of Freddie’s wild life. And the sanitized movie that highlights the strengths of Queen.

What I liked about the Doors movie is it combined both. Why not both here. The story of Freddy Mercury is just as interesting as the story of Queen and their musical inspiration.

I'm all over the puppet concept, Greg the Bunny and Puppets that kill were brilliant and puppet based comedy can be really over the top.
I just don't find Melissa McCarthy that funny in doses over 3 minutes long. That alone will probably make this a must wait for it to show up on movie central.
