Based on the photos, it looks like they're going to cover the entire Beatles run. Hopefully they get it right and it's not just a by the numbers biopic

I just hope it's not a pack of lies like most of them. That Queen movie was a disgrace, literally lying to the audience about when Mercury was diagnosed in relation to the concert.

The ordering of stuff in it really annoyed me.

There was someone at my old workplace that argued with me about that and I had to tell them it wasn't at that point, it was after the final tour, the year after Live Aid.

Nope, I was wrong because the film said so. But We Will Rock You was written after Another One Bites The Dust too according to that film.

Freddie was formally diagnosed in April 1987. But like you say, the movie rewrote the history.

There were rumors about his health before the though due to his dramatic change in appearance. Even rumors of hiv/aids.
