Cast

Production

Anthony and Joe Russo's production company AGBO purchased the production rights to the novel in August 2018, beating out offers from Warner Bros., which would've had James Franco directing, and Sony,[7][8] with the Russos set to direct the film.[9] In March 2019, Tom Holland entered talks to star in the film.[10][11] Ciara Bravo, Jack Reynor, Jeff Wahlberg, Kyle Harvey, Forrest Goodluck and Michael Gandolfini were added to the cast in October.[12] Pooch Hall would be cast in an undisclosed role in December.[13]

Filming was initially reported to begin on July 15, 2019.[14] However, filming actually began on October 8, 2019, in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and concluded in February 2020.[15][16] According to the Russo brothers, editing for Cherry took place as it was filmed to allow them to see what they were missing, and if they needed to "rewrite or reshoot" parts of the film.[17]

Music

The film score for Cherry was composed by Henry Jackman, and will be released by Lakeshore Records on February 26, 2021, via Apple Music.[18]

Release

Apple TV+ officially acquired distribution rights the film in September 2020.[2] The film will have a theatrical run on February 26, 2021 and will be released on Apple TV+ on March 12, 2021.[5]
