Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor have pretty much decided who
will play Freddie Mercury in the movie they are making about
their late singer's life, but they're not saying just yet.  May
says, "We're looking for someone who's a great actor and can
live the part... [and] we think we have the right Freddie and
hopefully an announcement will come soon."  Comedic actor Sacha
Baron Cohen was their first choice, but they decided it was not
working out because May says "his presence in the movie would be
very distracting."  The first name mentioned as a replacement
was Dominic Cooper, but now it appears as though they are going
with Ben Whishaw, who played Q in the last James Bond movie,
