I found this article/review on Killing Bono, check out:

Most Underrated/Underseen Movies of the Year

For every overexposed studio blockbuster, there is a fantastic little indie that just never took off at the box office. These are the five movies that I loved in 2011, that I wish more people saw.

Killing Bono – N/A

This fantastic true-story drama, adapted from Neil McCormick’s memoir, is so under-watched that I couldn’t find ANY box office information on it at all! Director Nick Hamm crafts a fascinating true-story tale about an aspiring Irish musician who grew up with the members of U2 in Dublin before their astronomical success, and becomes obsessed with surpassing their meteoric rise through the music ranks. We’re treated to sensational performances from Ben Barnes, Robert Sheehan, Krysten Ritter, and the final screen appearance by Pete Postelthwaite. This is simply a delightful romp of a movie that sheds some light on an intriguing period in music history, and gives us a brilliant glimpse into the underbelly of the music industry.

Many apologies I haven’t put this interview on the site (at least I can not remember). So check out below:

Ben Barnes’ versatile vocal talents definitely came in handy when he had to film the comedy “Killing Bono.” Not only did the British actor have to master an Irish accent for his role in the movie, but Barnes also had to portray a wannabe rock star who kept changing his singing style. (Barnes did all of his own singing in the movie.) “Killing Bono” is based on music journalist Neil McCormick’s memoir of the same title (the book’s original title was “I Was Bono’s Doppelganger”), which details his struggles to be in a successful band while four of his former school mates from Dublin became the superstar band U2.  The book’s title was inspired by U2 lead singer Bono, who once joked to Neil McCormick: “I am your doppelganger. If you want your life back, you’ll have to kill me.”

In the “Killing Bono” movie (which primarily takes place in Dublin and London from 1976 to 1987), Neil McCormick (played by Barnes) and his younger brother Ivan McCormick (played by Robert Sheehan) go through a series of misadventures on their failed quest to become bigger than U2. Along the way, the McCormick brothers form various bands (with Neil on lead vocals and Ivan on guitar), and they encounter a cynical record-company executive named Hammond (played by Peter Serafinowicz); a menacing Dublin gangster named Danny Machin (played by Stanley Townsend); a flamboyantly gay landlord named Karl (played by Pete Postlethwaite, in his last film role before he died of cancer in January 2011); and a sassy apartment neighbor named Gloria (played by Krysten Ritter), who becomes Neil’s girlfriend and manager of the McCormick brothers’ band Shook Up. Bono is played by Martin McCann, who bears a striking resemblance to the real Bono.

This is really old news, but as I do not had at the time the website I thought it was interesting, so I decided to share today.

If you’re an actor who crosses over into music, two ways you can go about it are by releasing your own album or by doing a musical. But lately, there’s been a growing trend of actors who’ve made their officially released recording debuts by being featured on the soundtracks to their movies that aren’t musicals. We put the spotlight on five entertainers who’ve recently made that leap.

SOUNDTRACK SINGER: After starring in 2008’s “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” British actor Ben Barnes was seen in the indie flick “Bigga Than Ben” and the romantic comedy “Easy Virtue.” In “Easy Virtue” (set in the 1920s), Barnes plays John Whittaker, a British heir who elopes with an American race-car driver named Larita (played by Jessica Biel), and the couple must then deal with the mixed reactions from John’s family. In the movie, John sometimes breaks out into song to lighten the mood.

SOUNDTRACK SOUND: Barnes is the “Easy Virtue” cast member with the most songs (three) on the film’s soundtrack: He sings solo on “A Room With a View” and “I’ll See You Again” and performs with Biel, Colin Firth and Andy Caine in a jazzy remake of Billy Ocean’s “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going.” Because the soundtrack’s music reflects the jazz sound of the era, Barnes’ vocals have the type of precise enunciation that befits his upper-crust John Whittaker character.
