Today NewtownabbeyToday.co.uk published an article about one of their hotels being used during the filming of Killing Bono. The article also includes a new photo of Ben outside the hotel, which has been added to the gallery!

In addition to the new photo (above), I recently uploaded a couple previously unseen photos of Ben (with co-star Krysten Ritter) on the set of Killing Bono last week.

Ben is featured in the March 2010 issue of InStyle magazine as a part of the Best of British Talent in celebration of the BAFTA’s. I’ve added a scan from the magazine to the gallery, thanks to Kate!

The InStyle website has also published a behind the scenes video that includes some brief footage of Ben taken during the photoshoot. You can see him around the 2 minute mark. Watch the video here.

Today the Wallace High School website published an article about their students and school being used in the film, Killing Bono. The article also includes a new photo of Ben with some of the kids.

Click the preview above to visit the website and view the new photo!

Students at The Wallace High School recently had the opportunity of a lifetime to star in a major feature film currently being directed by Belfast born Nick Hamm. Killing Bono starring Ben Barnes and Robert Sheehan is based on the autobiographical book “I was Bono’s Doppelganger” by The Daily Telegraph’s rock critic Neil McCormick.

Killing Bono tells the story of the young Neil McCormick whose only ambition was to be a world dominating Rock legend. Although this quest was expertly planned he faced an unforeseen musical nemesis, a boy sitting on the other side of the classroom had plans of his own and that boy was Bono.

During the shoot there was much excitement when pupils in the Preparatory Department received a surprise visit by both Ben Barnes and Robert Sheehan.

Many thanks to Regys for the heads up about this new interview with Ben from the London Evening Standard. You can read the full interview at the original site or by following the fake cut at the bottom of this post.

Home is…
Wimbledon, where I grew up. I have been living with my younger brother Jack for a year now. I like that it’s just out of Central London.

What was the last play you saw in London?
I saw James McAvoy in Three Days of Rain, but that was a long time ago. I was away for seven months last year, but when I’m in London I try to support the actors I know.

What advice would you give a tourist?
Look up. There are so many wonderful gargoyles.

Which London shops do you rely on?
I absolutely detest shops. I tried to get my Christmas shopping done in one day, but I just meandered up and down Covent Garden and Oxford Circus. It was horrible. The boutiques and markets in Notting Hill are a little nicer.
