Queen biopic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ gets soft-rock PG-13 rating

drug content and language.” - That doesn’t sound particularly rock and roll.

20th Century Fox’s upcoming Queen biopic, titled “Bohemian
Rhapsody,” will be rated PG-13 for “thematic elements, suggestive
material, drug content and language,”
according to Exhibitor Relations.
The movie stars “Mr. Robot” actor Rami Malek as Queen
singer Freddie Mercury. “Bohemian Rhapsody” will chronicle
the trajectory of Mercury’s life and career with Queen, from the
band’s early days in the 1970s to its seminal Live
Aid performance in 1985.
But how complete can it really be with a measly PG-13
rating? For context, iconic rock movie “Almost Famous,” which is
not even particularly controversial, scored an R. Though to be
fair, “School of Rock,” starring Jack Black also got a
PG-13.
Despite the kid-friendly rating, the production of
“Bohemian Rhapsody” has had its ups and downs. The film’s
first director, Bryan Singer, stepped
away from the project in December, citing “a personal
health matter.” Director Dexter Fletcher finished filming the
movie.
The movie also stars “Game of Thrones” actor Aidan Gillen
and Mike Myers. It will be released on November 2.
Here’s the trailer:
