Whilst many directors would take the last recording worked on by Freddie Mercury before his death, and make an intentionally melancholic piece that examines the meaning of grief, or perhaps summarises Freddie's life and work, director Jim Gillespie instead chose to make an intriguing piece of science fiction to accompany the song of the same name.
The film depicts a crew member of the deep space cruiser Gagarin, as he engages in a deadly game of cat and mouse with an alien adversary in deepest space, as the rest of the crew remain in cryogenic freeze. Whilst he reminisces about the life he left behind on earth, the alien takes the form of his lost love, and tricks the astronaut into making a painful sacrifice.
Jim Gillespie has had the most success of any of the directors given funding for the project, having gone on to direct the films I Know What You Did Last Summer, D-Tox and Venom.
