Relative newcomer Eve Hewson has scored one of the lead roles alongside Sean Penn in the indie drama This Must Be The Place.
How indie? Try this plot line on for size: Penn plays an aging rock star who makes it his mission to track down the Nazi criminal who tortured his father in a concentration camp. Yup, it’ll be a laugh riot, with Paolo Sorrentino behind the camera.
Hewson, whose career to date has included another indie piece, 2008’s The 27 Club, has a bit of experience with rock types, since she’s Bono’s daughter. She’s signed on to play a Goth-punk fan who is friends with Penn.
Frances McDormand is also in the cast for the film, which Sorrentino will start shooting in Ireland this month before moving to film in the US. But who are they going to get to provide songs for the soundtrack? Shooting in Ireland as well! If only there were someone they could call on...
