BONO makes his film debut in Across The Universe (yes, THE BEATLES universe!!!)

U2 rocker BONO is set to star in new musical ACROSS THE UNIVERSE -
a movie plotted around songs by THE BEATLES.


The film will chart the adventures of a young man from Liverpool
who heads to America during the Vietnam war in search of his father,
ending up in Greenwich Village.

And Bono, who sang alongside SIR PAUL McCARTNEY
at the Live 8 charity extravaganza,
is keen to make his acting debut in the film.

The film is directed by Julie Taymor,
who was previously responsible for the London and Broadway
stage versions of The Lion King.
