U2 To Star In New Film

U2 are set to star in a forthcoming documentary which features rare footage of the band in the recording studio.

Produced by Daniel Lanois – who has co-produced a number of the bands albums - ‘Here Is What Is,’ will highlight what goes on behind the scenes as U2 put their material together.

Speaking about the project, Lanois admitted that "the mystery of the recording studio is what keeps me coming back.”

He added: "Many rewards have come to me through this laboratory. It is my temple, my domain, my frustration and my love. But most importantly, it is my place of innovation."

The film will be premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in Canada on September 7th and will also feature appearances from Willie Nelson, Brian Eno and Sinead O’Conner.
