October 4, 2009, 12:24pm–The Independent quotes Rupert Grint in saying how delighted he is about the fan campaign for Cherrybomb and that he backs it wholeheartedly!
“I am backing this campaign wholeheartedly,” he said. “I’m delighted by the huge support the film has already received on the official Facebook page and other sites on the web and am so grateful to my fans in particular, who have travelled the world to support the film at festivals and preview screenings.”
In even bigger, exciting news, The Independent states the campaign has helped secure a distribution deal in Britain and details will be announced next week. We will be looking more into this to let you know all the details!
Robbie Little, of The Little Film Company, has also been quoted as saying that the campaign has definitely helped. And Lisa Barros D’Sa, the co-director, has been quoted as saying how blown away they are by the support from the minute Rupert was cast in the film!
And even cooler? Ice Cream Man is mentioned as having put together the campaign! 
You can read it all here! And give yourselves a big pat on the back because you all helped make this happen!
UPDATE: This morning, The Telegraph has reposted the story initially run by The Independent, and what’s even better, they’ve linked ICM and our petition too! Let’s hope this will attract even more fans to sign the petition: our campaign must continue until the distribution deals have been signed for all continents!
UPDATE 2: BBC News has also picked up the story and has additional quotes from Film producer Simon Bosanquet of Generator Entertainment:
“With a lot of independent films, it is hard to get them noticed,”
