December 18th 2009, 8:08pm–It has been a very long and exciting year for Rupert Grint and for the fandom. His movie Cherrybomb premiered at the Berlin film festival and was well received by critics, yet getting a distributor was still a bit of challenge. The fans took action by campaigning, petitioning and contacting the media to show the buyers that they wanted Cherrybomb to come to their town! The work has indeed paid off and now Cherrybomb directors Lisa D’Sa Barros and Glenn Leyburn have both issued a wonderful holiday greeting and thanks to all fans for their support and dedication to this campaign. The Little Film Company have put the clip together for all of us watch via you-tube. Watch it now by clicking here.

And remember the distribution deals are set for the U.K. and the U.S. so our new CB challenge is to help other countries…We need it least one fan from each country to send us over a video or just a written message with perhaps a photo that represents your country and we can incorporate that into the video. We will make this our last challenge to end a very long and successful year.

  1. *saved from word so I wouldn’t forget*

    First I want to let ya’ll know that my Dearie was about to put me in the loony bin as I was watching the clip.

    Secondly, want to say that Lisa is so pretty and Glenn is very handsome, they make such a cute couple.
    Next, of course I’m gonna support Rupert. He can ACT,……’nuff said!!!!

    This clip is set out to torture me, because one of my favorite moments in the movie happens JUST after the clip stops!!!!!! *bangs head on the keyboard*
    Of course, we all know that Rupert is wonderful in terms of voice-less acting, and I remember when I was watching the movie, and the very moment after the clip stops, I remember just thinking about what Malachy was thinking during that moment.
    SOOOOO, I present to you…

    *AJ voicing what she interprets Malachy to be thinking, but it comes out in her girly way, cause she’s a female*
    AJ as Malachy: *Malachy looking at Luke and Michelle* “Oh, HELLLLL, no! I know he ain’t over there tryin’-a holla?!?!? He better back the &*%#@$ UP!!!!”
    Michelle: *Playfully avoids Luke’s advances*
    AJ as Malachy: *After realizing that Luke ain’t getting’ no play*: Oh, I was about to say.. *hint of triumph*

    Again, Malachy wouldn’t have actually said this, but this is what I said in my mind
    in his place….

  2. Man. Technical difficulties abound… Any ways…

    LOVE what Glenn and Lisa did for the fans. Every fan deserves this. :D And the clip… I was hoping for something different, but it’s fun. Suave Malachy. And I love Connor aka Fanta! It amused me to know end that he just sort of appears in the movie all, “Here I am!”

  3. They are still holding back on us… Ha ha its all good because it will be released in cinema’s now sooo why give it all away. Anyway Lisa and Glenn we love you guys. You have been simply amazing!!!! All of the hard work is worth it and then some!

  4. LMAO @ AJ

    Thanks for the back up Lisa and Glenn, that just made the entire year for me, I think! *sends good thoughts to them, along with a hug*

    I know, Conor just pops up out of nowhere, doesn’t he? I was like, “Awww, look, it’s Conor.” lol Cutie patootie!!

    And how awesome is it that some of the staffers here got a mention in the video, too.

    *AHEM AHEM*

    *floats away on a happy cloud*

  5. OH MY GOSH, watching it again is going to make me go crazy…

    They said it will be more to come (don’t know how soon that will be…)

    Man if I don’t get to hear a clip (or the entire movie, again) with MALACHY’S VOICE,

    I will fall right off the edge of this bed into the floor and hurt myself. What decent

    human being would want that to happen to me? Give me Malachy’s voice, and I won’t get

    hurt…

    Oh yeah, when I watched it I was like, “yay, Conor!!!”

  6. Who got mentioned in the video Chelle?

  7. No one specifically, I think she just meant the part where they said that they
    met the fans at the different festivals….

    *not hearing Mal’s voice*

    It’s torture
    It’s torture…”

  8. wait, i’m a little behind, when was the us distribution deal set?
    p.s. the two directors are adorable, they make a very handsome couple.

  9. Well they didn’t mention any names directly, but I’m assuming they meant those who went to the little gathering in Belfast. lol

  10. Rose, the same time it was mentioned that they secured a deal for the UK they were working on a US one. We just learned it’s been set, we’re just waiting for it to be announced!! :)

  11. AJ that scenario, forgot to mention……………… HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. They’re such sweet, genuine people. Gah. And I love seeing that sexy nod he gives Michelle in HQ! *drools*

  13. Its awesome from Glen and Lisa’s side to do this! Thanks again! :)
    *needs to see the movie pronto*

  14. Lisa and Glenn are really so cute. Thanks for this message. And I think when they said there is more to come that the movie will be in theatres soon.

  15. *lovesGlennAndLisa* This is adorable!

    And, ahem, staff… remember we got a clip from that filming location *hinthintnudgenudge* from our tour in March? You know which one…

  16. Aww! This is great. Glenn and Lisa are so sweet. Thanks for sharing, you guys.
    And y’all said that the video CB challenge is “our last challenge to end a very long and successful year.” Does this just mean the last challenge of the year or last challenge ever?

  17. Well Morgan we might have to give it a small break for now but some fans are working on separate campaigns to help CB which you know what I am referring to, so we’ll help with that. Also if any of the other countries are interested in us helping them promote CB for their country let us know.

  18. @AJ…LOL (You have a great imagination girl…or shd i say great intuition at intrepreting Malachy’s thoughts?? [;)]

    But it is really sweet gesture from the directors not only on their behalf but also on Rupert’s behalf…

    I have done the message for the CB challenge…will send the photograph of soon…[:)]

  19. mmmm there’s not so much news bout rupert this time (i think) but this one ‘s great :)

  20. Please send CB to Canada!
    We need `Cherrybomb’ to get
    us through the winter!
