The Freddie Mercury biopic project has hit another hurdle after director Dexter Fletcher left the project. Variety reports he was “let go” by producer Graham King after changes requested to the script were “taking too long to fix”. It has also been reported that Sony has refused to cut a distribution deal with Tribeca Productions, fronted by Robert De Niro. Actor Ben Whishaw remains on board as the man who’ll play the lead role as the late Queen frontman, but his commitments to the next James Bond film have cast some doubt over the planned shooting schedule for the Mercury project, set to begin in June.
