Dexter Fletcher Replaces Bryan Singer as Director of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’

Dexter Fletcher has been hired to replace Bryan Singer as the director of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” 20th Century Fox announced on Wednesday.

Production on the Freddie Mercury biopic will resume next week in the U.K. Fletcher’s credits include “Eddie the Eagle” and ‘Wild Bill.”

Fletcher was originally attached to direct the film, with Ben Whishaw (“Skyfall”) in the role of legendary rocker Mercury. The director left the project in March 2014 over creative differences, and eventually Singer came on board with star Rami Malek.
