Johnny Depp To Play Freddie Mercury

Poodly Queen guitarist Brian May has revealed that a movie about the band is on the cards, and that Johnny Depp is a 'top choice' to play Freddie Mercury. Well, to be precise, what May said was "Discussions are at an early stage. Johnny Depp is fantastic. He would be a worthy counterpart for Freddie on screen."

I dare say this is the first Johnny has heard on the subject, but who knows? Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised to see Robbie Williams take the part in a bit of stunt casting.
