According to Huffington Post, there is a live adaptation of the lyrics of the song that already exists. The song went through many dramatic readings until they finally came up with a storyline.

Initially, Sacha Baron Cohen was to play the role of Freddie Mercury in the biopic but he opted out after some disagreements with the band because Cohen wanted to include lewd details of Mercury's life. This film has been in development for six years with Anthony McCarten, who was called to join on November 2015 to write the screenplay that will serve as a guide for the movie.
What do you think about this? Do you agree with Cohen or with the Queen band mates? Feel free to let us know what you think.
The "Bohemian Rhapsody" short film is expected to start its production early next year.
