QUEEN The Great Pretender (2012 Japanese limited edition Blu-Ray featuring the Emmy / Rose d'Or award winning 2012 feature-length documentary about Queen singer Freddie Mercury and his attempt to forge a solo career. Produced and directed by Rhys Thomas, a lifelong Queen fan and expert [he famously broke the Mastermind all-time record points score with a specialist subject of Queen] who previously produced the acclaimed 'Queen: Days of Our Lives' BBC documentary now turns his attention to the Freddie Mercury archive, going back as early as 1976 in search of vintage gems which reveal more than ever. The extensive archive footage is drawn from rare interviews with Mercury, concerts, video shoots and personal material, much of it being seen for the first time, along with newly filmed contributions from fellow Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor, Queen manager Jim Beach, soprano Montserrat Caballé, composers David Arnold and Mike Moran, lyricist Tim Rice and many more. Additionally, the film also includes [for the first time ever] Freddie and Rod Stewart singing their 1984 demo for 'Let Me Live', a snippet of the then unreleased Michael Jackson collaboration 'There Must Be More To Life Than This', his collaboration with The Royal Ballet in 1979 and much more including unearthed early interviews, footage of his infamous 39th Black & White birthday party in Mrs Henderson’s nightclub in Munich in 1985 and outtakes from video shoots. Complete with a BONUS T-SHIRT [Size: Large], the disc comes housed within a sealed 5.5" x 7.5" x 2" silver metallic picture box with wide-spined obi!)
