The Netflix series will not be the first fictional portrayal of U2 on screen. In 2011, Nick Hamm directed the movie “Killing Bono”, which starred Ben Barnes as Neil McCormick and Robert Sheehan as his brother Ivan as two real rockers who went to school with Bono (Martin McCann) and were forced to develop a career. while permanently in the U2 shade.
Bono also has a character named Dr.
In addition to “Bohemian Rhapsody”, screenwriter McCarten also wrote biopics about Stephen Hawking (“The Theory of Everything”), Winston Churchill (“The Darkest Hour”) and Two Popes (“The Two Popes”). He is also working on a scripted biography of Whitney Houston called “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”.
The premiere of the untitled U2 biographical series is still a long way off (so close), so stay tuned.
