Berlin -- Irish up-and-coming actor Robert Sheehan has dropped out of next year's Shooting Star event at the Berlin Film Festival, citing conflicts with his shooting schedule for Nick Hamm's "Killing Bono."
Sheehan was one of ten young European actors picked for the 2010 Shooting Stars -- a networking event in which young talent gets to meet international producers, scouts and casting agents for one-on-one face time. But "Killing Bono" will be shooting throughout January and February, making it impossible for Sheehan to travel to Berlin.
"I am, of course, hugely disappointed that I will not be able to attend this event," Sheehan said in a letter to Shooting Stars organizers. "I was deeply honored to be selected for this prestigious award and I send my very best wishes to all the other Shooting Stars and the festival."
Sheehan will be replaced by French actress Anais Demoustier, whose credits include...

- To put it simply, Rien de Personnel (the opening film for the 48th edition of the Critic's Week) is a sophisticated film that really only gets going in the final act, which is sort of the point of Mathias Gokalp and Nadine Lamari's screenplay. Shot in one location, the story takes place during the course of one evening, where employees of a drug company sip on cocktails and start worrying about their own future with the company as rumors circulate that it is up for sale. Told via the vantage point of several of these workers, Gokalp creates a Gosford Park-like scenario where gossip spreads like wildfire and he reuses the same footage over and over again by increasing the length and further adding details as to the true cause and effects. What occurs is that our perceptions of who these characters really are changes over time.
