As Killing Bono prepares to wrap in Belfast, N Ireland, today the Belfast Telegraph published an article describing one of the final scenes shot for the film, which took place at the Belfast city centre last night. The article also includes a new photo from the set, which has been added to the gallery!

The sounds of car crashing and classic U2 tunes reverberated around Belfast city centre last night — as the final scenes of the movie Killing Bono were shot in Belfast.

With Joshua Tree LP adverts, retro wear and vintage cars, Royal Avenue, Library Street and Little Donegall Street were made over to look like 1980s Dublin.

During almost six hours of filming, the Belfast crew captured what one insider described as “the biggest scene in the film”.

At around 11pm last night the film’s main character McCormick, played by Ben Barnes, was filmed racing to the Frames Complex in search of Bono.

Unfortunately he doesn’t make it, instead smashing into a parked car outside the venue.

Location manager Andrew Wilson described last night’s filming as “action-packed”.

He said: “These scenes make up the penultimate scenes of the film.

“They are crucial to the overall theme and are very exciting. We are, as you can see, taking over much of Royal Avenue.”

Hot Press recently visited the set of Killing Bono and talked with Ben about performing new music, by composer Joe Echo, for the film. You can read the full article here. The article also includes a new (though small!) photo from the set. Killing Bono is expected to finish shooting this Friday, February 19th.

Prince Caspian star Ben Barnes (who plays Neil McCormick) performs Echo’s songs onscreen. “He is absolutely an astounding man, a wonderful musician, and a brilliant composer,” says Barnes of Gribben. “And he wrote these brilliant songs – we used quite a lot of his lyrics. He’s got these very quirky, quite cool lyrics. He writes these songs about rape, and weird things, but makes them into pop songs.

“And so we’re using some of Neil’s lyrics, but I think it’s mostly original music by Joe Echo,” he adds. “Because it should be something fresh and new as well, with that eighties feel, but still a new album. It’s something that should go along with the film. It should be a new soundtrack.”
