UPDATE: New Cherrybomb Synopsis!
![]()
January 22, 2009, 5:23 AM–A new synopsis for Rupert Grint‘s eagerly awaited film Cherrybomb has just emerged online! Junge Journalisten (The Young Journalists, who will be reviewing the films competing in the Generation category at the Berlin Film Festival) have just updated their Cherrybomb page with a new synopsis, giving us a bit more insight into the characters’ actions and motivations. It seems to me that, after brilliantly portraying Ben Marshall in Driving Lessons, Rupert plays another teenager who has an overbearing mother! What do you think:
It’s gotta be wild to be good. The final exams are over and Malachy and Luke hang out at the leisureplex with their friends. Something needs to happen this summer – no matter what. Enter Michelle: In ankle boots and babydoll dress she struts fresh out of London and into their lives. The bomb has been lit. Who gets the girl? Or, who gets her first? Pills are downed, lines snorted and cars dented. The main thing is – not to stay home. It’s unbearable there, no matter whether it’s mother, patting her Malachy on the head, or Luke having to wake his dad from a drunken stupor. Grounded? Just let them try it! The text messages leading to the next party is about to arrive for sure. How much can this boys’ friendship take before the bomb goes off?
Oh, and as you might have noticed, the venue for Cherrybomb screening on Monday 9 February has been changed. Instead of Colosseum 1, the movie will be shown at Cinema X3 — Potsdamer Platz at 16:30 CET (4:30 PM).
UPDATE: Additionally, it has just been announced that Cherrybomb is also up for the Best First Feature Award at the Berlinale! For further information on this prize, click here.
Thanks to Hunter!

Oooh an extra screening? AWESOME!!!
January 22nd, 2009
Oh I just noticed CinemaxX 3 Potsdamer Platz is ONE theatre. So it’s not an extra screening, it just got replaced.
January 22nd, 2009
WOW!!! This is going to be some movie. I am most definitely treking to the ends of the world to see this movie. LOL
January 22nd, 2009
I’m f***ing excited to see Rupert as a wild party animal. He’s a very calm person in real life, it’s gonna be awesome.
January 22nd, 2009
“Who gets the girl? Or who gets her first?” DANG!!! That made me chuckle a bit. Kim is going to have to ‘work it’ in this movie! Trailer!!!!
January 22nd, 2009
Well.. we know Malachy does get the girl at some point *wink wink
What about Luke though…?
January 22nd, 2009
Oh silly me, let me edit this. You could tell I was posting this in a bit of a hurry.
January 22nd, 2009
whoop whoop! But aawww!
lol Luke has the family background that I wanted Malachy to have! but i’ll get over it!
January 22nd, 2009
That’s why poor Maly looks so bored in all domestic photos.
January 22nd, 2009

January 22nd, 2009
Soph there’s a forum thread where we post our congrats for CB team, so you may add your message.
January 22nd, 2009
I loved the synopsis! “The bomb has been lit” – heck yeah! Now we know the meaning of the title. And they do coke, pills and booze?!? Jesus, this movie is gonna be insane. I cannot wait to see it!
January 22nd, 2009
Wouldn’t it be great if CB won both awards it’s up for? That really would get Rupert some well-earned attention!
January 22nd, 2009
Dude! I’m telling you Rupert is gonna win an academy award. hands down. End of story. AND IF ANYBODY TRIES TO TELL ME ANY DIFFERENT… i’ll just roll my eyes and read the rest of the comments.
January 22nd, 2009
KC I agree with you. I have nothing but high hopes for Rupert.
January 22nd, 2009
*sings*
High hopes, Jo’s got, High hopes.
Jo’s got, high apple pie in the sky hopes…
Actually, I think we are in a good place now, not seeing the trailer.
Cause, if you’re not going to Germany (like me, darn wintertime), when the trailer comes out or the reviews start coming in, the rest of us will be scratching the walls like cats!!!
Ignorance is bliss….
Ok, I don’t really believe this, but I’m going to be crazy to know more until I finally see it.
January 22nd, 2009
Wow! This really is a grown up film. lol I think this might be what Rupert meant by, “It may not be as controversial as Dan’s Equus.” He wasn’t talking sex or nudity, he was talking recreational drug use imo.
January 22nd, 2009
umm…. is it possible that rupert did such a fantastic job in his peformance that they just decided to move him up in the golden bear awards… ???
January 22nd, 2009
Ooh, thanks for the heads up about the congrats thread, Ivana. Was out of town for a bit, and I have some catching up to do! Off to find the thread…

I’m going to bed before I have an nervous breakdown. Goodnight.
January 22nd, 2009
Sorry KC. Sleep tight.
January 22nd, 2009
I’m glad you have that Jo, cause I was thinking (with the smaller pic) that he’s angles are devine….
January 23rd, 2009
GodDAMN, that’s a beautiful man.

January 23rd, 2009
I can’t wait to see this! I hope they release it in the US
January 23rd, 2009
If it does well in Berlin and a few other festivals, CB will probably be released worldwide – US included. Now the only thing is, if the distributors opt for limited release, how limited it will be…
