Actor-director Sacha Baron Cohen has quit singer Freddie Mercury biopic over creative differences with the remaining members of Queen.
The actor, who has a strong resemblance to Mercury, was in talks to play the singing icon.
The differences occured over the content of the movie. The band wanted to make more of a movie about Queen but Cohen was more keen on doing a gritty R-rated tell-all on the singer. Cohen had brought in Peter Morgan to write and various directors including David Fincher and Tom Hopper to develop the project for himself.
