Synopsis
"Two guys, One girl. Game on."
Starring Rupert Grint (HARRY POTTER films) in his first mature role, James Nesbitt and hot new talent Robert Sheehan (MISFITS) and Kimberley Nixon (ANGUS, THONGS AND PERFECT SNOGGING), CHERRYBOMB tells the story of two best friends locked in fierce rivalry for the same girl as she seductively encourages a ruthless competition for her heart.
Michelle (Kimberley Nixon) tests the limits of Luke (Robert Sheehan) and Malachy's (Rupert Grint) friendship, and how far each of them is willing to go to win her over. What starts off as an uneventful summer soon transforms into a wild ride of drinking, drugs and sex - with devastating consequences that will change the lives of all three teenagers forever.
CHERRYBOMB's edgy content and fantastic performances, will be a must see for fans of SKINS and MISFITS, and cinema lovers of all ages. The film has already captured the attention of the online community and prompted a highly publicised petition to find a distributor.
Directed by Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn, screenplay written by Daragh Carville and featuring a cool music soundtrack co-written and supervised by the award winning composer David Holmes (OCEANS 11,12 and 13).
