Belfast goes back in time for new U2 movie


Film-makers have turned back the clock in Belfast's Lower Donegal Street


The filming of a new movie linked to the Irish supergroup U2 has taken part of Belfast city centre back by three decades.

The feature film, titled "Killing Bono", is being made in and around the city over the next six weeks.

Waring Street and Lower Donegal Street have been dressed to portray a vision of London in the late 1970s.

Traffic diversions will be in place on Sunday and Monday but rush hour traffic will not be affected by the filming.

The film, which has been described as a "music-based comedy", is set during U2's formative years in north Dublin and London.

It is based on the memoirs of Bono's schoolfriend, Neil McCormick, who is now a music critic for the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

"Killing Bono" tells the story from the point of view of the rather less successful rival band which he set up with his brother in the late 1970s.

The film is directed by the Belfast-born director Nick Hamm and has received funding from Northern Ireland Screen, with help from Invest NI

It is hoped the film will be released in the summer of 2010.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
