Bono teams up with good Corrs
U2 frontman Bono has teamed up with compatriot Andrea Corr to record the title song of the coming Wim Wenders movie Don't Come Knocking.
"We only just did it when they played Amersterdam," said Corr in London this week. "It's a beautiful song written by Edge and Bono."
"Edge rang me and said, 'We have written a song and actually realised it's a duet and we would like you to sing it'. So I said, 'No I don't have the time'," Corr joked. It's not Bono's first collaboration with either Corr or Wenders. The charismatic inger wrote Time Enough for Tears, which appeared on the Corrs' last album, orrowed Heaven, and has appeared with the band at many charity gigs, most recently the Live8 concert in Edinburgh.
U2 has provided music for many of Wenders' movies and Bono made his writing and acting debut on the 2000 movie The Million Dollar Hotel.
Despite growing up in Ireland when U2 were megastars, Corr was far-from starstuck the first time she met Bono.
"Ireland is not a starry culture," she said, "and it's kind of begruding - I rang Bono up, actually.
"It was to do with the Omagh bombing and we were putting a TV show together to raise money and awareness for the victims. It was a bit mad - I did get on the phone slightly defensive and then we just got on brilliantly."
Corr has also dabbled in acting and is keen - if a little wary - to do more.
"I'm just about to start shooting a film in India in September," she said.
"It's kind of a like a horror film, but it's more spiritual than that."
She will apear alongside Linus Roache and Saffron Burows, but prefers to keep her side career low-key.
"I kind of want it to be a secret becaus eI get a bit of a cringe factor at the idea of a singer turns actress."
Corr made her acting debut while she was still at school in Alan Parker's 1991 movie The Commitments and won a top award at this year's Colorado Film Festival for The Boys From County Clare.
"It meant a lot to me, even though it was Best Actress in a Comedy - and I was the only one that wasn't joking," she laughed.
Corr could also be Australia-bound soon because her long-time actor boyfriend, Shaun Evans, will be in the counry in coming months filming The Middle of Nowhere.
"If it was somewhere like Sydney I would definitely pop over because I could be on my own there.
"But if it was literally in the middle of nowhere, all I would have is the kangaroos," she said.
