U2's Larry Mullen Jr. makes movie debut

Larry Mullen Jr, U2 star, has made his acting debut opposite David Sutherland in a remake of acclaimed Patrice Leconte film The Man on the Train.

The drummer's low-key debut as a leading man will open in US theatres at the end of the month.

In the film, the rocker plays a mysterious criminal who aims to rob a small town bank, but his plans change when he meets a retired old poetry professor, played by Sutherland.

Mullen Jr. played French pop star Johnny Hallyday's role from the 2002 original, while Sutherland takes over from Jean Rochefort.
