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 X3Potsdamer 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!

  11. “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!!!!

  32. KC I agree with you. I have nothing but high hopes for Rupert.

  33. *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.

  34. 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.

  35. 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… ??? :D

  36. 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…

  37. PROFILE ALERT!!!!!!!!

  43. : / JO!!! LOL you scared me! I thought you meant the TLF site. :( I’m going to bed before I have an nervous breakdown. Goodnight.

  44. Sorry KC. Sleep tight.

  45. I’m glad you have that Jo, cause I was thinking (with the smaller pic) that he’s angles are devine….

  46. GodDAMN, that’s a beautiful man.

  47. beautiful indeed!

  48. I can’t wait to see this! I hope they release it in the US

  49. 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…
