Opening in theaters on November 4th is the new Rock 'n' Roll comedy Killing Bono, based on Neil McCormick's 2003 memoir "Killing Bono: I was Bono's Doppelganger." The film is directed by Nick Hamm (Godsend) and stars an excellent cast of actors including Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), Robert Sheehan (Season of the Witch), Krysten Ritter (She's Out of My League), Martin McCann (My Boy Jack), and the late Pete Postlethwaite (The Usual Suspects) in his final film performance.

IAR's managing editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to sit down with the film's director Nick Hamm, and star Ben Barnes, to discuss Killing Bono. The director and actor spoke freely about the new film, the true life story it is based on, the traps of celebrity, and U2's reaction to the film.

Coincidentally, McDonagh is the brother of Martin McDonagh who wrote and directed the Golden Globe nominated film In Bruges, which also starred Gleeson.

Fresh-faced Eve Hewson may have just nabbed the break of a lifetime, and it doesn't involve being rock and roll royalty: the young actress has just landed a co-starring role in the indie drama This Must Be The Place, which also stars Sean Penn and Frances McDormand. Hewson is U2 frontman Bono's daughter. (Fun fact! Bono's real name is Paul David Hewson.)
