Dexter Fletcher to Replace Singer on Bohemian Rhapsody

Dexter Fletcher has been hired to replace Bryan Singer to direct the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

After Singer was fired from the film for his unreliability and reports of tensions on the set, he ultimately decided to leave the studio altogether after, he claims, they wouldn't allow him time to take care of his ailing mother.

Bohemian Rhapsody will star Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) as Freddie Mercury, legendary frontman of the band Queen.

The film reportedly only has a couple more weeks of filming and is expected to be released in December 2018.
