The cast of the film, the first English-language feature from Paolo Sorrento, the director of Il Divo, features such notables as Sean Penn, Frances McDormand and Simon Delaney. Also joining the company is a young actor named Eve Hewson.

Yes, that surname does ring a bell. Young Eve is, indeed, one of the two daughters of The Artist Currently Known as Bono.

The intriguing plot concerns an aged rock star who embarks on a quest to hunt down a Nazi war criminal. Well, Ms Hewson will surely have insights into at least one aspect of the story, then.
