Sacha Baron Cohen Freddie Mercury Film on course for 2012

That biopic with 'Borat' star Sacha Baron Cohen as Full frontman Freddie Mercury? Still on, according to producer Graham King. While marketing Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo,' (which King co-produced and including Cohen in the supporting role), King told CinemaBlend he needs the project could possibly get on-going next season. "Who simpler to experience Freddie Mercury than Sacha Baron Cohen? He's so gifted, and you also go to a side to him in 'Hugo' that nobody saw before. Very emotional, and extremely sincere." Peter Morgan ('Frost/Nixon,' 'The Queen') was writing the script, but King didn't comment whether his script will probably be used. As Morgan told CinemaBlend a year ago, Baron may also be the primary one by means of saying thanks to for your project's existence: "Sacha was the one which asked for me to produce it. He was the guy who rang me up." [via CinemaBlend] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
