Tom Holland has teamed back up with the Russo Brothers for Cherry. According to Comicbook.com, the movie is almost complete and we should be expecting a first look soon. Of course, with the outbreak of COVID-19, the distribution of the film is unknown, but Joe Russo gave an update on Cherry to CB:
“We were in post. We’ve been editing remotely with our editor. We’re just about the locked picture on it and start music and sound on it so it’ll be ready in a few months. The question is, what’s the market going to be? Where we are going to be? When are movie theaters going to reopen? There’s a lot of questions before.”
Cherry explores the opioid epidemic in America, which Russo explains as a:
“…heartbreaking examination of what’s going on in the country right now.”
With Holland as the main character, I’m sure some people doubt his abilities in such a serious film. After all, many’s only imagery of Holland is as the MCU’s Spider-Man, along with some voice over work from Disney. But, Russo assures that it’s Holland, as we’ve never seen him before:
“I think it’s an Oscar worthy performance. I think he is absolutely amazing. It is a gut wrenching performance. What he does to himself emotionally and physically is unbelievable. We have a seen an actor in a role like this in a long time. It stands the, you know, the movie stands a decade and this is an epic performance, but that certainly I think we’ll be in the Oscar conversation.”
The Russo brothers have been developing over movies at their production company AGBO, such as Cherry and Chris Hemsworth’s film Extraction. Russo explained:
“It’s certainly, our mission is to develop some big IP for anti to direct that the focus of the company, we’re doing [Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert]’s next movie, [Everything Everywhere All At Once],” Russo explained. “We have a project with the Obama’s, we have a project with Tom Brady, a sports docu. So, we’re, we’re branching out and working with fascinating, thoughtful, super creative people. But, I think, the big focus for us is, ‘What’s the next big event film we’re going to make?'”
