Killing Bono Will Feature Song By U2 Precursor The Hype, But No Actual Bono Killing

We kid because we love, Bono, and because of course you are just the slightest smidge insufferable, what with your private fleet of planes and Broadway musical. Still, a film called Killing Bono should at least feature Eric Stoltz or somebody chewing the scenery while planning a ridiculously over the top take out. All we actually get , however, is another story where Bono wins, as the film tells the true tale of two Dublin brothers who form a band that is overshadowed by U2. The one saving grace might have been hearing a young and unsure Bono perform a song with The Hype, the band that preceded U2. Instead, filmgoers will hear the song performed by the film cast. Some day, Bono. Just not today. [Indiewire]
