Details of U2 and Anton Corbijn’s film “Linear” revealed

U2 has released details on Anton Corbijn’s film Linear, starring French actor Said Taghmaoui (Three Kings, Lost), which accompanies the album No Line on the Horizon. Linear’s credits are available from nolineonthehorizon.com and include the running order of the songs as featured in the film.

01. UNKNOWN CALLER
02. BREATHE
03. WINTER
04. WHITE AS SNOW
05. NO LINE ON THE HORIZON
06. FEZ-Being Born
07. MAGNIFICENT
08. STAND UP COMEDY
09. GET ON YOUR BOOTS
10. MOMENT OF SURRENDER
11. CEDARS OF LEBANON

Corbijn reveals:

“As U2 never do anything in half measures, the record that emerged from the studio in late December 2008 was a very different one than the one I’d made images for. Not only had the running order changed, now there were completely new songs on the record while another song had gone, new lyrics without the characters had emerged, and different sounds dominated the songs I had worked on. Disaster!”

  1. So will there be a song called ‘Winter’ in this movie, as in the tracklist? Or is Winter an early name for missing song ‘Crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight’?

  3. Its definetly not “ill go crazy” – that is not featured in the film i know that for sure. So its probably a new song, or maybe its has been “swallowed” by another song if u know what i mean.

  13. Mister Corbijn,

    Taking about an masterpiece,this is one!!!
    But have mixed feelings about it,because I’m a bit confused to the combination of film-images and the music.
    it’s difficult to say it in a few words.
