U2 Performing Live From Cannes Tonight

Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington’s film “U2 3D” will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival tonight (following the screening of Michael Moore’s “Sicko”). U2 will be playing live on the Palais steps tonight around 6pm Eastern time, and can be viewed live via an internet feed on ifc.com.

Eighteen cameras were used in the filming of multiple shows on the band’s tour of South America last year. The editing is still taking place but the final film is expected to be between 80 and 90 minutes in length. At one show in Chile, the crew only filmed Larry on drums for the whole show – another night was a ‘phantom shoot’, homing in on the band close-up, but with no audience in the venue.

The production team are predicting that the film could change the face of music videos. ’3D is now digital and and it’s going to start to change music videos. And when you no longer need the glasses, then it will really take off.” Click this link to read the entire article on the U2.com site.
