Exclusive: Krysten Ritter Talks Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23
4 November 2011 4:37 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
I recently had the chance to speak with actress Krysten Ritter about her fantastic new indie Killing Bono, which hits theaters November 4. I also had to ask Krysten Ritter about her upcoming ABC series Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23, which premieres midseason. When it was originally picked up, the title was changed to just Apartment 23. I asked Krysten Ritter about the title change, which she was definitely in favor of, although she isn't sure how they will actually pronounce it.
"I think they're going to scratch it out. I think Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23 is what it going to say. I'm just going to say 'bitch' and let everyone else worry about it (Laughs). Yeah, it's really fun. It's the tightest writing I've ever seen, doing a comedy. The writing is tight, every episode is just jam-packed. Every script I get, my jaw just hits the floor. »

Exclusive: Krysten Ritter Talks Killing Bono
4 November 2011 11:04 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Krysten Ritter discusses her role in Killing Bono, working with director Nick Hamm, Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, and much more.
If you ask me, it's difficult for anyone to Not be a fan of actress Krysten Ritter. After appearing in What Happens in Vegas, 27 Dresses, Confessions of a Shopaholic, She's Out of My League, and a memorable arc on the AMC series Breaking Bad, Krysten Ritter has established herself as a go-to actress for any sort of unconventional role. Krysten Ritter appears in the fantastic comedy Killing Bono, which is based on music critic Neil McCormick's memoir, and hits theaters on November 4. Krysten Ritter plays Gloria, Neil McCormick's spunky new neighbor who becomes his love interest. I recently had the chance to speak with Krysten Ritter over the phone, and here's what she had to say.
I really enjoyed the movie, but I haven't gotten »

Exclusive: Nick Hamm Talks Killing Bono
2 November 2011 12:34 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Director Nick Hamm discusses Killing Bono, crafting this true story adaptation, assembling the cast, future projects, and more.
Director Nick Hamm has had a very diverse career so far, exploring several different genres. He's done comedy (The Very Thought of You), drama (Talk of Angels), and horror (The Hole, Godsend). Now the director is tackling a true story tale which is equal parts comedy and drama with the fantastic Killing Bono, which is currently available through video on demand formats, and hits theaters November 4. Killing Bono shows us both sides of the cutthroat music industry. The story centers on Neil McCormick (Ben Barnes), a childhood friend of the enormously successful band U2, who goes to maniacal lengths to outdo the band, despite lacking the talent to do so. I recently had the chance to speak with Nick Hamm over the phone about Killing Bono, and here's what he had to say below. »

Exclusive: Ben Barnes Talks Killing Bono
1 November 2011 1:57 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Actor Ben Barnes discusses the incredible true story of Killing Bono, getting both the Irish accent and the music down, future projects, and much more.
Most movies based on a true story already have a built-in audience, fans of the subject matter. The wonderful new indie release Killing Bono, which is currently available on video on demand formats and will hit theaters November 4, is unique because it will appeal to both fans and haters of the mega-group U2. Killing Bono is based on the memoir of Neil McCormick, a childhood friend of Bono, The Edge, and the rest of U2. For years, Neil McCormick tried to achieve the same success as U2, while constantly living in their shadow, and this hilarious and heartfelt tale brilliantly shows us both the highs and lows of the cutthroat music business. Ben Barnes, best known to fans of The Chronicles of Narnia as Prince Caspian, »

Reuniting the Rubins – review
20 October 2011 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Family squabbles are to the fore in this underwhelming comedy from first-time director Yoav Factor
The Royal Tenenbaums meets The Upper Hand in this film from first-time director Yoav Factor. Unfortunately, it's the duff 90s sitcom that sets the tone. Timothy Spall, still in search of a serviceable star vehicle, must reunite warring sprogs Rhona Mitra, Blake Harrison, James Callis and Hugh O'Conor and corral them back to the family home on the dying wish of Gran (Honor Blackman). Plot twists are shoutingly signposted and then wallopingly orchestrated; few characters shake off the thick blanket of caricature while tragic back-stories are whipped out as narrative trump cards with all the taste of strip poker at a funeral. Rubins ultimately sinks beneath the weight of its own gubbins.
Rating: 2/5
