We see a little silhouetto of a man in glittery spandex, as early Tuesday morning 20th Century Fox Film snuck out a teaser trailer for “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
The long-gestating and anticipated biopic of iconic rocker Freddie Mercury is coming to theaters this fall, played by “Mr. Robot” Emmy-winner Rami Malek.
“The only thing more extraordinary than their music is his story,” the trailer promises, referring to English rockers Queen and their frontman Mercury, respectively.
Glam costumes, ’70s shaggy hair, insults hurled at record executives, the 1985 Live Aid concert and opulent mansion parties fly by in the teaser clip — illustrating a lush tapestry on a film rocked by controversy after the studio fired director Bryan Singer last fall and replaced him with Dexter Fletcher.
