U2 performing on the red carpet at Cannes Saturday before the screening of a 3D concert film about the band. "Happy birthday, Cannes," lead singer Bono said in French, saluting the festival's 60th anniversary this year. Bono led U2 through two of their biggest hits, "Vertigo," and "Where the Streets Have No Name.
" Directed by Catherine Owens and Mark Pellington, "U23D" captures the band during their Vertigo tour, performing hits that span their career, from "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" to "Beautiful Day." The film uses the latest 3D technology, and audience members watch through special glasses that resemble ordinary sunglasses, rather than the red-and-green 3D specs of old. The members of the band appear to leap off the screen during the 55-minute film, due to be released in theaters later this year.
