AGBO Films has released the first official photos for the Russo Brothers-directed crime drama “Cherry” which has now set a February 26th 2021 theatrical release ahead of a March 12th 2021 Apple TV+ premiere.
The story follows former Army medic Nico Walker who returned from Iraq with extreme un-diagnosed PTSD and fell into opioid addiction and began robbing banks.
Speaking with Vanity Fair, the Russos say the film is essentially six chapters spanning a fifteen year period from the mid 2000s to the present. Each chapter has a different tone and is shot with different lenses and different production design. Tone’s include magical realism, absurdism, horror, and some overall gonzo rawness to it all.
Ciara Bravo, Bill Skarsgard, Jack Reynor, Forrest Goodluck, Jeff Wahlberg, Thomas Lennon, Michael Gandolfini and Kyle Harvey also star whilst Jessica Goldberg (“The Path”) co-wrote the script with Angela Otstot (“The Shield”).
Additional cast includes Ciara Bravo (Wayne) as Walker’s wife, Kelli Burglund (Now Apocalypse), Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), Jeff Wahlberg (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), Michael Gandolfini (The Deuce), Kyle Harvey (The After Party), and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!).
