Brian May confirms We Will Rock You movie
Thursday, 13 January 2011
Queen musician Brian May has confirmed that a silver screen version of We Will Rock You is to be made.
The rocker revealed on the band's official website that he is to work with writer Ben Elton to transform the show into a movie following its success in the West End and abroad since 2002.
"We are … laying the foundations for We Will Rock You the Movie and again, we already have a great script for it from Ben," he commented.
We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre features Queen hits such as Killer Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody, but the musical tells the story of a dystopian society rather than being a biography of the band.
It is one of a number of plays and musicals to be in the process of being adapted for Hollywood, with The Woman in Black, Wicked and War Horse three significant others.
