Bono in Beatlesfilm
« on: September 28, 2005, 07:45:25 AM »
Eddie gets high as Kite

Izzard lands role in Beatles movie

  
Eddie Izzard is to star opposite Bono in a new film based on the songs of the Beatles.

The comic plays Mr Kite in the movie Across the Universe, now in production in New York.

It  has been written by sitcom veterans Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, the duo behind Porridge, The Likely Lads and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

It is a romantic musical, told mainly through Beatles songs, in which a young man from Liverpool comes to America during the Vietnam War to find his father, ending up in Greenwich Village.

The film is directed by Julie Taymor, who was previously responsible for the London and Broadway stage versions of The Lion King.

Hmmm, hope this doesn't turn out to be another film like that Sgt Pepper film which starred Peter Frampton and The Bee Gees!!

Bono is one of the most nauseating rock stars of all time with his holier than thou image since I have seen him more on TV & in the media the last 5 years than with his band in over 20.  IMHO, seeing him in a Beatles related movie is about as sick as you can get without vomiting.

It could be quite good actually. In a trippy sort of way. Mr. Kite is Eddie Izzard. We don't know.

wayne, i hope larry mullen Jr. comes over to your house and shoves his drumsticks up your ass. then you may actually feel some of the pain that those Bono is trying to help feel.

U2's music alone is enough to get them into the hall. then there's the fact they lasted 26 years and still get on top every new album, and the singer helps out not only the poor nations of the world, but he also is probably the only musician that has taken the time to talk to world leaders...and they listen to him

and one more thing, ever hear "New Years Day"?

that song actually lifted the New Years curfew on the polish during the cold war. how does he suck if he can make millions of poles' life so much easier?

He's even humble enough to tell people in his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize, that there are much more out there that have done more then he has that deserve it.

how does that make him holier then thou?
