KILLING BONO: Video Interview with Ben Barnes

KILLING BONO is based on Neil McCormick's best-selling book "I Was Bono's Doppleganger" about his escapades growing up with one Paul Hewson, watching him turn into Bono and then to subsequently try to outdo him with a musical career all of his own. It's fair to say that Shook Up! didn't come close to eclipsing the popularity of U2. Instead, McCormick has become a well-regarded music critic and author and penned his thoughts down and they've since been turned into (in rather exaggerated form) a film called KILLING BONO. The film stars Ben Barnes and Robert Sheehan as the McCormick brothers, as they try (mostly unsuccessfully) to chase fame in the shadows of their illustrious classmates.
We sent John Balfe along to chat to Ben Barnes, Robert Sheehan, Neil McCormick and director Nick Hamm.

The life story of Hastin - part 6 Grillos salto En el arroz de trincheras Rana que se sienta en una piedra Entonces su lengua fuera Atrapar mosquitos e insectos El cuerpo de la rana cubierta de barro Y sus ojos sin parpadear Algunos peces Nadar junto Un viejo granjero Hojas de maíz y cigarrillos en la mano Comenzó a ir al campo A continuación, la azada Sudor goteado Agotado Se sentó por un momento Mirado campo de maíz A continuación, beber café amargo Era media tarde Estimado viejo granjero regresó a su casa Cumplido fiel esposa amada A continuación, sentarse en el porche Comiendo yuca hervida Y alimentos procedentes de las otras bombillas
