The film took flak for being historically inaccurate, not to mention poorly edited.\u00a0One scene in particular, where the band meets with its manager, played by Aidan Gillen of <em>Games on Thrones<\/em>, went viral for its bad editing and inspired a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4dn8Fd0TYek\">breakdown video<\/a>\u00a0with almost 3 million views. Like Malek, editor\u00a0<strong>John Ottman<\/strong> won an Oscar for <em>Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em>, but even he said that scene made him \u201cwant to put a bag over [his] head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director <strong>Bryan Singer<\/strong> was also fired before filming was completed and saw his decades-long career end in\u00a0sexual abuse allegations. Filmmaker <strong>Dexter Fletcher<\/strong>, who also directed the Elton John biopic, <em>Rocketman<\/em>, stepped in to replace him.<\/p>\n<p>This is Hollywood, so what ultimately matters to studios is the financial bottom line. If the band signs off on a script and 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox, now owned by Disney) thinks there is money to be made from another Freddie Mercury\/Queen biopic, then we could be seeing a sequel to <em>Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> in the future.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
