Freddie Mercury Documentary (2013)
DESCRIPTION :
Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender is a the Emmy/Rose d'Or award winning 2012 feature length documentary about Queen star Freddie Mercury and his attempt to forge a solo career. The documentary premiered on BBC One in edited form as part of the Imagine series and later the Director's Cut was shown on BBC 4. It gained 3.5 million viewers when aired on BBC One in October 2012 and a further 1.2 million when shown on BBC 4.
Reuniting the producer, editor and director of photography behind 2011's widely acclaimed “Queen: Days of Our Lives” BBC documentary, “The Great Pretender” in similar vein presents a compelling insight into its subject matter, unearthing previously undiscovered or rarely seen footage.Produced and directed by Rhys Thomas, lifelong Queen fan and expert (to the extent that Rhys famously broke the Mastermind all-time record points score with a specialist subject of Queen), Rhys has this time turned his attention to the Freddie archive, going back as early as 1976 in search of vintage gems which reveal more than ever before the inside story of Freddie’s life and career and the solo projects he worked on outside of Queen.
