Two new clips from Killing Bono – Out today!

KILLING BONO is finally released in UK cinemas from today, and we’re heading out to see the movie on Saturday evening here at THN Towers (we managed to miss every single UK press screening). We’re hearing some good things about it, and be assured that we’ll report back with our verdict as soon as we can.

We have two clips from the film for your viewing pleasure. Check out the full synopsis below…

Neil McCormick always knew he’d be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n’ roll stardom will do. But there’s only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul’s already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan, determined to leave The Hype in his wake. There’s only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To ‘U2’. And Paul has turned into ‘Bono’.

Naturally there’s only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil’s rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything.

As his rock n’ roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono’s success. Is he the yin to Bono’s yang? Is he forever destined to live in the shadows of superstardom? And what if the answer lies in… killing Bono?
