New comedy film Killing Bono - win a 16GB iPod

Killing Bono

To celebrate the release of new British comedy film Killing Bono, at cinemas April 1 (cert 15), we are offering 1 lucky reader the chance to win a 16GB iPod.

KILLING BONO is a rock n' roll comedy about two Irish brothers struggling to forge their path through the 1980's music scene... whilst the meteoric rise to fame of their old school pals U2 only serves to cast them deeper into the shadows. The film stars Robert Sheehan (Misfits), Ben Barnes (Easy Virtue) and Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun Of The Dead).

Neil McCormick always knew he'd be famous. A young Irish songwriter and budding genius, nothing less than a life of rock n' roll stardom will do. But there's only room for one singer in school band The Hype and his friend Paul's already bagged the job. So Neil forms his own band with his brother Ivan, determined to leave The Hype in his wake.

There's only one problem: The Hype have changed their name. To 'U2'. And Paul has turned into 'Bono'. Naturally there's only one option for Neil: become bigger than U2. The brothers head to London in their quest for fame, but they are blighted by the injustices of the music industry, and their every action is dwarfed by the soaring success of their old school rivals. Then, just as they land some success of their own, Ivan discovers the shocking truth behind Neil's rivalry with U2, and it threatens to destroy everything. As his rock n' roll dream crashes and burns, Neil feels like his failure is directly linked to Bono's success. Is he the yin to Bono's yang? Is he forever destined to live in the shadows of superstardom? And what if the answer lies in... killing Bono?
