Bohemian Rhapsody Deleted Scenes Explained
609Bohemian Rhapsody Deleted Scenes Explained
As a longtime fan of the band Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody was a film where I would have been happy with a much longer version. That’s because no matter what was included in the two hour and fourteen minute movie, the film would never be able to showcase all of the band's songs and stories. While Bohemian Rhapsody does a great job highlighting greatest hits, and shines a light on how the band came together and created some of their iconic songs, diehard fans like me will always want more.
So when I sat down with the cast (Rami Malek, Lucy Boynton, Gwilym Lee, Joseph Mazzello, Ben Hardy, Allen Leech) and producer Graham King last week in London, one of the things I wanted to know about were the Bohemian Rhapsody deleted scenes. While occasionally people involved in a film are guarded about revealing what didn’t make the final cut, the Bohemian Rhapsody cast were pretty open about sharing what was left out.
As they mention in the player above, some of the things that were cut out of the film include:
The full Live Aid set.
More of Freddie Mercury when he was clubbing in NYC in the 80s.
How Freddie came up with Crazy Little Thing Called Love in the bathtub.
Longer scenes of Freddie and Mary in their apartment.
How Freddie came up with the Queen emblem for the band.
How John Deacon joined the band.
The band playing ’39 when on tour in Japan.
While it remains to be seen if these scenes will be included on the Bohemian Rhapsody Blu-ray, hopefully they will be so fans can see even more of the band's world on-screen.
