Director Bryan Singer has been fired from “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Freddie Mercury bio-pic, after not showing up on set for at least 10 days. The Hollywood Reporter said that 20th Century Fox canned the “X-Men” director Monday after the film was temporarily shut down Friday. The studio’s only details came in the form of a brief statement to Deadline: “Bryan Singer is no longer the director of ′Bohemian Rhapsody,’” was the studio’s official statement Monday. However, an insider told The Hollywood Reporter that Singer had claimed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder caused by tensions on the set. Singer has been accused in the past of misconduct and erratic behavior, which apparently influenced the added attention to behavioral issues involving his hiring for the Freddie Mercury film.
