It's been repeatedly hailed as the greatest live performance in rock music history, so it's no surprise that Queen's set at Live Aid in Wembley is going to play a big part in Bohemian Rhapsody, the upcoming Freddie Mercury / Queen biopic.
An on-set photo, posted by Brian May on his Twitter account, shows the side of the stage of Wembley, replicated to what it looked like in 1985 during Queen's set.
Take a look.

Looks pretty accurate, and here's the full set from Queen for comparison.
The film, which has officially begun production, will follow the early years of Queen right through to their performance at Live Aid and beyond - with Mr. Robot's Rami Malek to play Freddie Mercury. IMDb lists Eastenders' Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor, Jamestown's Gwilym Lee as Brian May, and Jurassic Park's Joseph Mazello as bassist John Deacon.
Bohemian Rhapsody is slated for release on December 28th, 2018.
