Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison was an example of a good casting choice and add to the mix that Kilmer could sing.
Sacha Baron Cohen was the initial choice to play Mercury, a better choice than Radcliffe IMHO, but he pull out and Radcliffe is now set to play the role. To play Freddie Mercury the actor will have to project a huge stage presence to match Mercury's at 1.65m that is a big ask for Radcliffe. Anyway I hope you are right because if Radcliffe gets this wrong it could impact his career depending on how well the end movie result is received.
