hits.

Today Neil McCormick updated his website with a couple new photos from the Killing Bono set. One you’ll recognize from the latest issue of Hot Press magazine, while the other photo shows Neil meeting Ben for the first time.

All three photos have also been added to the gallery. View them here.

I’ve just read the update in Neil’s website. He is so funny! Considering the way he faces the fact that he is played by such a handsome actor, I presume his next book will be called “Killing Ben – I was my own Doppelganger”.
=P

oh look its the Spock moment from Neil’s tweets lol!

good to see the movie version of the Shook Up! poster, at least that pictorial from the 1980s served some purpose, even if its 20+ years late :D

oh and on Neil’s website we finally get to see the Real Ivan McCormick (present day). wonder how he and Robert Sheehan felt meeting each other and sharing a scene in the movie.

those polyester suits look classic lol! i hope their scene makes it in the final cut of the film.

@Karii: I have absolutely no problem with Ben drinking, he is a big boy after all! LOL! I have a problem with him hugging that girl!!! (Just Joking!)

Never mind that girl he is hugging…..who’s the guy he is kissing!!!!!!!

Serena said:

The girls appear to be extras or fans. The guy appears to be a friend of his or someone he met on set. He’s straight so don’t think it’s an issue.

Serena said:

Not to mention, that is a very awkward angle to be kissing anyone. He’d have to have lips on the side of his face to pull that off, if you enlarge the pic.

Stephanie said:

Sorry guys, forgot to mention that all the photos were posted here, and as far as I can tell, everyone appears to be extras in the film. :)

Ok, I’m going to try and identify a few people for you here. The girl with the red hair is an extra as are the other girls in the pictures. I think they were used on most of the extra days as they seemed to know a lot of the cast and crew.

The guy with the afro hair and stripy cardigan is Slinky Winfield aka Slinky Sunbeam. He’s the bass guitarist in Shook Up! He’s also in a band called the musical differences in real life.

The guy in the black and white picture from the wrap party (where ben has short hair) is called Denis. He is from Northern Ireland. I spoke to him very briefly on the day of the last big gig and he said he played a drug dealer.

Finally…. The guy ben is kissing/not kissing is another member of Shook Up! Sadly I can’t remember if he plays keyboard or drums. They all seemed to get on well on set and obviously off camera as well!

Hope that helped!

Alison, thanks for the info. This movie sounds quite intriguing and can’t wait to see it.

Stephanie said:

Thanks for the information Alison! :)

Since we were asked to remove two of the Facebook photos from the gallery, I’ve decided to just pull the whole set so as not to upset anyone else. The pictures should still be viewable at the link above though.

Amber said:

Aww..come on Stephanie!!! You were only asked to remove TWO of the photos only!! You should have left the rest in. I was enjoying the pics of Ben with the short hair (like the black/white photo). The link you gave shows only a couple of pics of Ben :(

March 3rd, 2010

Serena said:

I loved those two, Amber. LOL

Not much in the way of Ben at the above link but that’s ok. I did find via FB links a picture of the band from the back of a huge concert crowd and Ben might be there too but there is no way to tell.

Stephanie, benbarnesonline.net got permission to keep the other photos on their website, may be the woman will give you permission too.

Stephanie said:

You have to go back and look through some of the older posts from February to see the Ben photos (in the link above). They are there. :P

Both Jaque and Denis have given me permission to share their photos on the site, so I’ve re-added them! :)

Amber said:

Stephanie said:

Aww, no need to thank me for that. Thank Denis, as he was kind enough to send me the HQ version. :D

Amber said:

Ben is a man and is adult, he can drink anything and kiss anyone he wants, this is his right of privacy. I envy everyone who met him; I still think he is doing excellent not to be a crazy arrogant star and he is acting for his own fun
