Singer credited on ‘Bohemian’

- — Amy Kaufman

Despite Bryan Singer being fired during production of “Bohemian Rhapsody” in December, Fox confirmed Wednesday that Singer will be credited as director on the finished film.

Singer was let go on Dec. 1 and subsequent­ly denied reports that he had clashed with the movie’s star, Rami Malek, who plays Freddie Mercury.

He was replaced by Dustin Fletcher, who worked on the project for about 16 days, according to the picture’s producer, Graham King.

Fox did not respond to questions about whether Fletcher, best known for directing 2016’s “Eddie the Eagle,” would receive any credit on the film.

Directors Guild of America rules do not permit two directors to be credited on a film unless they work as a team.
