Bohemian Rhapsody: Lucy Boynton Interview
1,146Lucy Boynton Interview Bohemian Rhapsody
Last week in London, I attended the world premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody at Wembley Arena. Unlike most premiere venues, which are lucky to hold a thousand people, Wembley Arena is a massive building that normally hosts concerts and other live events. So for the world premiere of the Queen movie, 20th Century Fox filled the arena up with around seven thousand people, and during the film’s big moments it truly became an interactive experience. When Queen is shown in the studio coming up with the beginning of “We Will Rock You,” the crowd was clapping and stomping along with the band. Then, during the Live Aid portion of the film, when the band is singing Radio Ga Ga, the crowd clapped along. It was like being at a Queen concert, and an experience I’ll never forget.
The day before the world premiere, I was able to talk with Lucy Boynton. She talked about Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin’s unusual real-life relationship, what it was like filming the Live Aid concert, what was cut out of the finished film, if she “borrowed” anything from set, and more. In addition, she teases her work in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming show The Politician and what it was like meeting him for the first time.
Finally, while the entire cast was great in Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek’s performance was on another level. No matter what review you read or who you talk to, everyone is raving about his amazing performance as Freddie Mercury. His work alone is reason to see the movie.
