U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr's first acting role will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival next month, it's been announced.

Man On The Train, which is based on a 2002 French Film, also stars Donald Sutherland.

Mullen Jr played a stranger who arrives in a small town to rob a bank in the Mary McGuckian-directed movie. The role was played by Johnny Hallyday in the original.

The drummer also produced the film with McGuckia and Martin Katz, as well as writing the movie score.
