Ice Cream Man

One of the Cherrybomb directors, Lisa Barros D’Sa, talked to a Belfast journalist Keith Anderson about the movie title; to be precise she revealed the original title and the reasons why they changed it to Cherrybomb! From what I can tell this is just an excerpt from a much longer feature that is to follow: so, listen to the interview here and keep stalking this page in the next couple of days!


Yesterday evening, the UK premiere of Rupert Grint`s new film Cherrybomb took place at the Jameson Belfast Film Festival, and half of the ICM staff were present: namely, Tao, Jo, Karo, AJ and special guest star Soph (and another guest star — Tao’s mom!)

Although the main cast Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan, Kimberley Nixon and James Nesbitt could not attend the screening due to other commitments, we had the pleasure to meet and talk to directors Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa. We can happily tell you that they are in negotiations with a distributor!

We also spoke to composer David Holmes, who told us that the soundtrack will be released eventually!

BBC Radio One’s movie critic James King has just named Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, played by Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, as number 4 in his Top 5 Movie Couples list on Edith Bowman show.

You can listen to what he says about Rupert and Emma as Ron and Hermione here.



Rupert Grint’s latest completed film Cherrybomb will be have its UK premiere at the Jameson Belfast International Film Festival in less than ten days, and ICM team’s preparations for the festival coverage are in full swing!

We haven’t heard any news regarding Rupert Grint’s latest film Wild Target in a while, except that it is still in post-production. Well, here’s a trace of hope that we’ll be hearing more about it soon! Laura has discovered an article which suggests that the film, directed by Jonathan Lynn and starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Rupert Everett, Martin Freeman, Gregor Fisher and Eileen Atkins, will be “available for delivery” in July 2009! We suppose this means that editing will be finished and the movie will be put up for sale or distribution in less than four months. So hopefully we’ll get the first Wild Target trailer around that time as well! We’ll keep you updated of course.

Source: Variety (and judging by the title of the article, it seems that Wild Target was promoted in Berlin at the European Film Market, where Cherrybomb was screened as well!)
Many thanks Laura for the heads-up!


Now, before you get your hopes up, we don't think this means it will be released in July, but just that it will be put of for sale or distribution. It will probably still be released in the Fall.

The buzz about Rupert Grint’s film Cherrybomb has reached Asia! CC TV6 have put up a short segment about Cherrybomb, including a new scene with Kimberley Nixon as well as previously seen moments from the film!
