A trailer has been released for Kiss the Future, a documentary film based on Bill Carter's 2005 memoir, Fools Rush In. Directed by Nenad Cicin-Sain, with story by Carter and Cicin-Sain and screenplay by Carter, the doc was produced by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Sarah Anthony. It will open in select AMC Theatres nationwide on February 23. Kiss the Future had its world premiere in 2023 at Berlinale and opened the Tribeca Film Festival.
Featuring Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Christiane Amanpour, and Bill Clinton, Kiss the Future is the story of defiance amid the 1990s siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. It focuses on a vibrant underground community, who used music and art to effect change and garner global attention by ultimately inspiring Carter, who was volunteering as an aid worker at the time, to reach out to U2 to help raise awareness of the devastating conflict.
Kiss the Future follows the band's promise to perform a post-war concert, with U2 ultimately playing to more than 45,000 local fans in a liberated Sarajevo. Schaffner Press will release a new paperback edition on May 7 to tie in with Paramount+'s streaming of the film later this year.
