Next Project: ‘I Was Bono’s Doppelgänger’

Stephanie — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:28:36 +0000

As some of you may remember, in a recent interview with Examiner.com, Ben had mentioned that his next project was going to be a comedy in Ireland. Today that film was officially announced! He will star in an Irish comedy based on Neil McCormick’s ‘I Was Bono’s Doppelgänger‘ and the film is set to begin shooting on January 11th, 2010 in Northern Ireland. More information below ..

Finance has closed and pre-production begun on I Was Bono’s Doppelgänger, Nick Hamm’s Irish comedy based on Neil McCormick’s autobiography. The film is being sold at the AFM by London-based Salt.

The cast is headed by Ben Barnes (Dorian Gray, The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian) and Robert Sheehan (Season of the Witch, Cherrybomb), who play hapless brothers Neil and Ivan McCormick. Together, they set up a band in Dublin in the late 70’s. Sadly for them, so do their classmates and rivals, who go on to become U2.

The film starts shooting 11th January 2010 on location in Northern Ireland with additional photography in Dublin and London.The script is written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (The Commitments).

“We are thrilled to be involved in this adventure with Salt,” said Pyramide chief Eric Lagesse.”I always wanted to be a rock star but decided against it as a career for fear of ending up like the character Neil in this great script to be directed by Nick Hamm. I couldn’t help myself from buying this funny and sweet story of two brothers chasing success.”

For those who are interested, Neil McCormick’s autobiography can be purchased at Amazon.com.
