Griffith's Pretty woman goes bang while Bono steps in...

"The Limo Man" movie which was due to start filming in Ireland's Ardmore studios on September 28th has gone belly-up after funding was pulled on the movie. The movie which was due to star Melanie Griffith in the role of her fellow actress Julia Roberts and tell the story of Roberts friendship with the Irish chauffeur Mick Devine. He was the one who helped her when she broke up with Kiefer Suderland back in 1991. Sort of an Irish Notting Hill.

Rumours are that something (maybe a hike in Griffith's fee) pushed the limit on the films creditors and last week the film stopped pre-production.

It was already six weeks into pre- production at that stage and a lot of money had now been lost sources told ShowBizIreland.com. The movie has now been shelved.

However, while this has been a small setback for the Irish film industry a new movie hero is on the horizon for the great Irish movie.

U2 singer Bono is set to appear in a short movie being shot in Dublin called Sightings of Bono. The film was due to start shooting in Dublin on Sunday and Monday after Bono flew back into Ireland from the South of France on Saturday.

However, on Sunday and on Monday Bono failed to show up on the set in the Baggot Street part of Dublin. A Bono double was used on both days. A tad strange for a movie about seeing Bono is a variation of Dublin locations?
