Fresh development hell for the long-awaited film. Twentieth Century Fox has temporarily shut down production on the forthcoming Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, citing the "unexpected unavailability" of its director Bryan Singer. The film studio released a statement confirming the pause in filming following reports that Singer had failed to return after the Thanksgiving break. Sources close to the Rami Malek-starring project told The Hollywood Reporter that there's been serious tension on the set, while a rep for Singer told the BBC that the director is dealing with a "personal health matter concerning Bryan and his family." Despite these developments, Bohemian Rhapsody is still scheduled for a Christmas Day release next year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oozJH6jSr2U Clip via Queen Official
