Bryan Singer has been fired from the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, 20th Century Fox has told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Bryan Singer is no longer the director of Bohemian Rhapsody," the studio said Monday in a statement.
The decision reflected an escalating clash between Singer and actor Rami Malek and was caused by the helmer being missing from the set, necessitating the Dec. 1 production shutdown of the film in which Malek stars as Freddie Mercury, frontman of the rock group Queen. The pic has been shooting in London.
In announcing the shutdown last week, producers Fox, New Regency and Graham King initially said filming was being suspended because of Singer's "unexpected unavailability."
Trouble began when Singer went missing during production on several occasions. His no-shows resulted in cinematographer Thomas Newton Sigel having to step in to helm some of the days while Singer was absent.
Tom Hollander, who plays Queen manager Jim Beach, also is said to have briefly quit the film because of Singer's behavior, but was persuaded to return, according to one source.
Malek complained to the studio, charging Singer with not being present on set, unreliability and unprofessionalism.
Singer had been warned before production began by both Fox Film chairman and CEO Stacey Snider and Fox Film vice chairman and president of production Emma Watts that they wouldn't tolerate any unprofessional behavior on his part. A representative from the Directors Guild of America also arrived on set to monitor the situation.
The growing tension led to a confrontation between Singer and Malek, which, while it did not become physical, did involve Singer throwing an object. Subsequently, however, the two are said to have settled their differences and filming was expected to resume.
But then Singer did not return to the set after the Thanksgiving break and is believed to have been in the U.S. for about the last 10 days, according to one source. In his absence, Sigel stepped in to helm several days of shooting before the production was shut down. Singer's prolonged absence was the final straw, and so the studio decided to terminate him under his pay-or-play contract.
According to another insider, Singer has claimed he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder because of the tensions on the set.
The studio, which has about two more weeks of principal photography remaining on the film, is expected to name a new director within the next few days.

Do a search. One young man had the nerve to sue. His lawyer got several other young men to join in the suit then one day the lawyer said “I’ve reach a settlement.”. The kid didn’t want to settle so his lawyer walked away with a lot of money and the kid got nothing. Not even his day in court.
I believe Singer is one of the perverts who molested Haim.
Wow, there must have been quite the response to that tweet.
Interesting info.
Bryan Singer also tried very hard to be the director of Harvey Milk.
Milk was honored by Hollywood and is a poster boy of the homosexual movement. He also was in a sexual relationship with at least one underage boy when Milk was 33. Runaway, Jack Galen McKinley was 16 years old at the time. McKinley ended up committing suicide.
Gerard Dols was another underage teenager that Milk had an inappropriate relationship with. Milk wrote Dols a letter urging him to run away from home and come live in San Fransisco.
Hollywood’s Harvey Milk was portrayed by Sean Pean. He was a saintly, mostly monogamous homosexual, unlike the real Milk who was like typical homosexual men—having many partners and preferring younger ones. The Milk film also furthers the myth that Harvey Milk was murdered by a homophobe. Actually, his killer was a very pro-gay Democrat. Some think he was homosexual himself, though he was married to a woman.
In some ways it is reminiscent of the Giani Versace murder by Andrew Cunanan.
But movements need their martyrs. And the left is willing to manufacture them because what they believe does not have to be objectively true. It’s just important that they feel very strongly about it.
The left excuses the sexual abuse of men like Harvey Milk, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, JFK, etc. They promote a false narrative that these men were saintly.
Simultaneously, they malign men of character like Roy Moore, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, and others. They will line up false accusers to try to bring them down.

She was accused of being a pedo a few years ago.
Cat fight!
Wasn’t he accused of sexual harassment or assault a few weeks ago?
Harvey Milk’s relationship (politically and sexually) with Jim Jones wasn’t included, was it?
Jim Jones had sex with the men in his cult (including the doctor who mixed up the poison).
Probably just babysitting requests.
My first thought was “Isn’t that the homo director who rapes boys?”
Late responding but I don’t think he’d leave the USA to find Young teenage boys. He’s worried about being charged in the USA. He’s also worried about a civil lawsuit. The young man I’m talking about lives in Vegas and I think he’s teaming up with Feldman. With all the info out there today I believe the young man could simply file suit and Singer would settle. But he has to be served. And that’s hard to do if he can’t be found.
I also believe he was fired from the movie because the studio has known about him a long time and they’re trying to cover their butts.
I was not aware of that. Interesting detail.
A queen doing Queen. How quaint.
