Speaking of odd things, has anyone found out if the U2 IMAX movie is ever going to be released sometime soon or not?

U2 to record with Green Day ?

Well, that is what Bono told this afternoon over the phone to Michka Assayas - author of the book “Bono on Bono”. Bono sang an old Skids song to him, explaining that U2 is to record it soon with Green Day.
He also told Michka that everything is fine with Rick Rubin, and that they are all still working in London for another three weeks. Apparently, most of the work is being done out of the studio for the moment: Rick Rubin is expecting U2 to hold “extraordinary songs” before actually recording them. This approach, which seems to be more “artistic” than “scientific”, may put The Edge in a brand new situation.
This phone call follows a funny episode that happened yesterday night, during the Zoo TV DVD launching event at the Olympia theater in Paris. As the special guest of the night, Michka was passionately answering questions on stage when he suddenly decided to call Bono on his cell phone - was he inspired by the Zoo TV phone calls Bono used to make at the time? Anyway, the audience had an opportunity to leave a huge screaming message on Bono’s voice mail.
Bono kindly called Michka back today, insuring him that he would definitely have picked up the phone if he had been able to.
(Many thanks to Michka for this news.)
