Bono to play Bono in Carter’s film?

You may remember my giddy blog entry last May about meeting Bill Carter of Miss Sarajevo documentary fame.

Well now, his 2004 book Fools Rush In, about his time in the Bosnian war (and his time spent coordinating U2 satellite hookups to the war), is being made into a feature film. Carter is reportedly writing the screenplay and until now, we weren’t sure who was going to play Bono…but this article about an aspiring intern from Washington state who wants to work on the film claims that Bono is one of the stars (along with Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson). I can only deduce he’ll appear as himself.

And if he’s signed on to play himself (at age 33 no less), are the other three band members, Paul McGuinness and Ali Hewson also going to play themselves? They’re all mentioned repeatedly in the book, so I suppose it’s possible.

A girl can dream, right? :)
