Hollywood comes to the TT as U2 star's daughter joins major film production
Eve Hewson, daughter of U2 frontman Bono, is heading to the Isle of Man next month to star in a major motion picture about the world-famous TT races. The exciting news marks another milestone for the island as a premier filming destination, with production set to capture the magic of the festival against the backdrop of our iconic roads.
Eve will star alongside acclaimed actor Channing Tatum in the film, currently titled Isle of Man, which will be shot during the festival itself. The production is backed by Amazon MGM Studios, promising global reach and significant investment in the island's film industry. This is a fantastic opportunity for visitors and locals alike to witness world-class filmmaking in action during one of the TT's most vibrant weeks.
In addition to the feature film, a documentary TV series will also premiere, following footage captured during last year's racing. This dual-media approach will showcase the TT from multiple perspectives, giving both casual viewers and dedicated motorsport fans fresh insights into our legendary event.
If you're planning to travel to the island during the TT, be aware that Steam Packet sailings have been subject to weather-related changes. The company has rescheduled several departures and cancelled some services due to adverse conditions. Additionally, the Mountain Road will partially reopen for the weekend, providing access to key TT viewing spots. We recommend checking with Steam Packet directly before booking your journey to ensure smooth travel plans.
Whether you're coming for the racing, the films, or the buzz of the festival itself, the TT continues to capture imaginations—both on and off the screen.
