Trailer for Killing Bono Starring Ben Barnes, Krysten Ritter and Charlie Cox

Posted on September 14, 2011

Here is the trailer for Killing Bono, the "true-ish story" of the second best band in Ireland. This band just couldn't catch a break because their arch-rivals, Bono and his band U2, seemed to have all the luck. The film stars Ben Barnes, Krysten Ritter, Charlie Cox, Romola Garai and Bill Nighy. The film is based on Neil McCormick's 2003 memoir Killing Bono: I Was Bono's Doppelganger. Journalist McCormick is still friends with Bono (ne Paul Hewson), despite never making it as a rock superstar. The title of the book comes from an exchange Neil had with his famous friend. Neil once complained to Bono, saying, "The problem with knowing you is that you've done everything I ever wanted to. Bono replied, "I'm your doppelganger. If you want your life back, you'll have to kill me."

The film looks quite funny. Directed by Nick Hamm, the film will be released November 4, 2011. Take a look:
