Info on Krysten’s new role in “Killing Bono”
December 15th, 2009Tags: Killing Bono, Krysten Rittrrysten Ritter (Breaking Bad, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars) and Narnia’s Ben Barnes will star in Killing Bono, a Nick Hamm film based on the book Killing Bono: I Was Bono’s Doppleganger, about “the early days of U2 from a rival band’s perspective.” As not much of a U2 fan, this sounds like it could be entertaining.
Publisher’s Weekly describes it like so: “The author of this exuberant rock memoir went to school with the members of super-group U2 and stayed friends with Bono (ne Paul Hewson) as he rose from garage-band front-man to rock colossus to world dignitary…But the book is less about the distant figure of Bono than about McCormick’s feverish quest to emulate his success in a series of bands; he spent 10 thrilling, agonizing years on the brink of making it. The result is a funny, jaundiced celebration of rock ‘n’ roll fantasy and reality.”
