Battle scene From Movie: "Cherry" 2021
Cherry is a 2021 American Iraq War crime drama film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, from a screenplay by Angela Russo-Otstot and Jessica Goldberg, based on the novel of the same name by Nico Walker. The film stars Tom Holland, Ciara Bravo, Jack Reynor, Michael Rispoli and Jeff Wahlberg, and follows an Army veteran who resorts to robbing banks to support his opioid addiction. The original novel by Nico Walker, based on his own accounts of coming home as a military veteran from Afghanistan and robbing banks to support his drug addiction, ended with that last big shot of heroin.
Cherry was released in theaters on February 26, 2021, and was released digitally on Apple TV+ on March 12, 2021. The film received mixed reviews, with critics praising the performances of Holland and Bravo, but criticizing the screenplay and direction.
Cact:
Tom Holland as Cherry, a fictional character based on former army soldier and former drug addict-turned-author Nico Walker.
Cherry features Holland as an Iraq war veteran suffering from PTSD and drug addiction. He enlists in the Army after the flames of his first love fizzle out and returns a hardened man. In order to pay for opiates, he starts robbing banks. This triggers him to fall deeper into depression alongside his college girlfriend, who drops into his addiction just as hard, if not harder.
After teaming up for multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe installments, directors Joe and Anthony Russo reunite with star Tom Holland on Cherry, a project wildly different from their previous superhero epics. Based on the novel of the same name by Nico Walker, Cherry finds Holland shedding his boyish Peter Parker persona to play a war veteran suffering from undiagnosed PTSD and a crippling drug addiction.
In Cherry, Holland stars as the titular character, who is a directionless youth who joins the U.S. Army in search of a sense of purpose. Cherry serves overseas in the Iraq War as a medic, where he becomes emotionally scarred by the atrocities he witnesses in combat. Upon returning home, he struggles to adjust back to civilian life, sending him and his wife Emily (Ciara Bravo) down a dark path of drug addiction and financial ruin.
Additionally, Tom Holland's brother Harry makes a cameo appearance in the film as a drug dealer identified as the "Shaky Kid". As revealed by Holland on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he and his brother came up with the idea of having the latter appear in every film he makes onwards as the "Shaky Kid". Harry will reprise the role in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Anthony and Joe Russo's production company AGBO purchased the production rights to the novel in August 2018, beating out offers from Warner Bros., which would've had James Franco directing, and Sony, with the Russos set to direct the film. In March 2019, Tom Holland entered talks to star in the film. Ciara Bravo, Jack Reynor, Jeff Wahlberg, Kyle Harvey, Forrest Goodluck and Michael Gandolfini were added to the cast in October. Pooch Hall would be cast in an undisclosed role in December.
Filming was initially reported to begin on July 15, 2019. The filmmakers had plans to shoot the film in Ohio, the setting of the novel and homestate of the Russo brothers, but due to the Greater Cleveland Film Commission's proposed changes in tax incentives were forced to move the planned shooting to California. However, the proposed figures were lowered from $100 million to $40 million, and production returned to the state. Because of this, filming did not begin until on October 8, 2019, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and concluded in February 2020. According to the Russo brothers, editing for Cherry took place as it was filmed to allow them to see what they were missing, and if they needed to "rewrite or reshoot" parts of the film.
The film score for Cherry was composed by Henry Jackman, and was released by Lakeshore Records on February 26, 2021, via Apple Music.
