Bono Featured in new Anton Corbijn Documentary
Bono, Michael Stipe, Chris Martin, Dave Gahan (of Depeche Mode) and Brandon Flowers, are just some of the people featured in a new documentary film about Anton Corbijn.
The film is called
Shadow Play: The Making of Anton Corbijn
and tells “the story of the ultimate insider who now finds himself outside the Hollywood system and far enough away from the dizzying orbits of fame to make things a little uncomfortable… and very interesting.”
A trailer is expected to be available online soon.
The film was shown at the Sydney & Melbourne film festivals earlier this summer, and other film festival appearances are expected over the coming months. There is no word yet on a wider cinema release.
More details on the film here.

If anyone has any idea where this movie is showing, please post details because i’d love to see it.
I have updated the blog, the film has actually already been shown at two film festivals in Sydney and Melbourne.(see links on blog).
Cool! Great, considering that I’m a fan of Coldplay, U2, and sort of the Killers.
