Beirne and Bono

AllIrelandNow.com

A short film titled "Sightings of Bono" was shot in Dublin last weekend starring Bono, the U2 lead singer.
A completely Irish project, the story was written by well know Irish writer Gerard Beirne and adapted by Kathy Gilfillan and produced by Parallel Films. The story focuses on a Dublin girl called Ellen (played by Marcella Plunkett) who sees Bono everywhere until she eventually meets him in the shop where she works.

Bono arrived, relaxed and happy, on the set on Sunday afternoon to shoot the interior scenes. In between takes, Bono relaxed outside with friends and crew much to the delight of tourists, fans and passersby. Bono had a warm word for everyone including a young toddler whom he advised to "Vote for Bono".

The production then moved around the corner to shoot exteriors in front of Abrakebabra on Stephen St. A crowd quickly gathered to cheer on the singer.

The film will premiere exclusively on AllIrelandnow.com shortly.
