Tom Holland Plays A Volatile Junkie In Cherry Trailer

Apple TV+ has released the first official trailer for the Russo brothers’ much-anticipated, upcoming crime drama film - Cherry. Debuting just two days after revealing a teaser on Twitter, the bleak trailer pits Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo in the midst of the American opioid epidemic. Cherry is set to release in selected theatres on 26 February 2021, before hitting Apple's streaming service on 12 March 2021.

Set in the peaceful city of Cleveland in Ohio, the gritty trailer opens up in a quite abrupt manner, as we see a 23-year-old, inexperienced and nervous Nico Walker (Tom Holland) attempting to rob a bank in the middle of the day, using a $1 note for silenced, secretive exchange. As he contemplates his disastrous life choices, we are pulled back in time to the good old carefree days, where we see a young and lanky collegiate, enjoying life and pursuing his love interest, Emily (Ciara Bravo). Unable to find his place in the world, he soon drops out of college and enlists in the Army, not realising that he’s making the biggest mistake of his life. The trailer soon spirals into a montage, jumping between romance, ear-ringing explosions and gunfights in the Iraqi battlefields, to uncontrollable substance abuse, as he tries coming to terms with the horrors of war. As the youthful Army medic struggles with opioid addiction and undiagnosed PTSD, he gets miserable and turns to a life of crime. He says, “I don’t imagine that anyone goes in for a robbery if they’re not in some kind of desperation.” The Russo brothers’ direction also seems to have brought back the long lost charm and humour of Tom Holland, as he makes an untimely yet lighthearted joke about being rude to women. Towards the end of the trailer, we are treated to some more short bursts of clips, looking back at the highs and lows of his drastically emotional and character-driven life.

Directed by the Russo brothers, Cherry is an upcoming crime drama movie based on the semi-autobiographical novel of the same name by Nico Walker. The story follows a young ex-veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, who becomes a serial bank robber after an addiction to drugs puts him in debt. The book received an immense amount of praise upon publication, following which, the well-known directors acquired movie rights for the same, at the cost of $1 million, beating out offers from Warner Bros. Pictures and Sony. Adding onto the aforementioned duo, the film also stars Kelli Berglund, Thomas Lennon, Jack Reynor, Michael Gandolfini, Forrest Goodluck, and Jeff Wahlberg.

Earlier this month, we had reported on some set images from another Tom Holland starring film - Uncharted. The movie is set to be a prequel to the game franchise, serving as an origin story for Nathan Drake. You can read more on that here.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device  sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out  Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses  based on a patent  from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the  Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs  – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
