As we do pull back, we see BRANDON, 25, the same guy from the
photo on the work bench, aged three years, sitting on a chair
just outside the door. Out of sight from Cherry. Brandon is
wearing a mechanic’s uniform and looks saddened by what has
happened to his sister.
Brandon, while being Cherry’s brother, is everything she is not. She’s reckless, he’s very conservative. She’s spontaneous, he plans things out. When she wants revenge, he’s the one trying to talk her out of it. But when he sees there’s nothing he can do to stop her, he becomes the perfect compliment to her quest. Donning the blue collar to portray Brandon is John Gabriel:
Welcome aboard, John! You’ve got quite the task ahead of you trying to keep Julin’s character Cherry in line…

Pan around again and RICK, 33, the most polished guy in the
place is stuffing a $50 into a stripper, RUBY’s, 21, gstring.
His white button up shirt and slick suit present a
corporate attitude and a get to the point attitude about him.
.....
Rick stands, very confrontational. Cherry stops dancing and
backs away. Rick tries to grab Cherry’s hand but she moves
away.
CHERRY
You need to cool off, honey.
RICK
(noticeably drunk)
Cool off!? I’m vice president of
my company. I an afford to buy you
fifty times over if I want to.
CHERRY
Ok, Jesus. Take it easy Rick.
Cherry sees the tone has dramatically shifted in the room.
She bends down to pick up her top and bottom off the floor.
Party’s over.
Rick is a symbol of the booming 80’s economy. The Gordon Gekko fast money guys who can buy their way in and out of anything. And when he finds something his money can’t buy (Cherry) he lashes out with terrible results. Playing this role if the dynamic Alan Martin:
Alan brings a confident, professional attitude that will give Rick tremendous energy and depth as Cherry does her best to exact revenge on him. Welcome aboard, Alan!

Pan around again to see PETE, 37, trying to flash some green
to impress Cherry, as she dances for him. He seems totally
smitten with Miss Cherry. He whispers something in her ear
and she shakes her head. He tries to touch her while she
teases him. She is quick to bat his hand away. While he
can’t touch her, she has no problem grabbing his hair and
touching on him. Its driving him crazy. Cherry is totally
in control, though.
The torment Cherry puts Pete through builds until she finds his boiling point. Later on that evening, Pete eggs on a provokes the other guys until they buy in on the assault of Cherry. Being the ringleader of the atrocious assault, Cherry later relays to her brother:
CHERRY
Pete gets it last. Worst.
We plan to put Pete through agonizing hell at the hands of Cherry. Serious pain. The lucky man who is the focus of that torture is Mr. Dave Buckman:
A talented actor and a master of improv, Dave Buckman will be a great asset to the film as he divines new ways of displaying agonizing pain beyond a normal person’s comprehension. Welcome aboard!

ADAM
Listen to me you little shit. I
didn’t do anything and the cops
already cleared me.
Brandon doesn’t back down.
BRANDON
Yea, I heard. I don’t know how the
police let you get away with it,
but surely they may reconsider if
they knew everything about you...
Adam steps back.
ADAM
(Mocking)
Aw. I won’t pay your sister’s
bills and you’re gonna tattle on
me? We back in fifth grade again?
Brandon doesn’t say a word. He just glares at Adam.
ADAM (CONT’D)
Or did you think you were a big boy
and wanted to take care of things
yourself.
Adam is a slick drug dealer, who floats freely through the corrupt town that Cherry lives in. Having bought off the right people has made Adam brash and cocky and very defensive when pushed by Cherry’s brother, Brandon. To pull this off, we have brought in Jeremy Norton:
You can see Jeremy in these upcoming films:
Crashing Down
They Hunger
Welcome aboard, Jeremy!

Cherry looks at Ed sitting by with pleading eyes.
CHERRY
(Whimper)
Help.
Ed is still sitting there, jaw agape. Cherry
again calls for him to help her, with wet eyes.
CHERRY
Ed...
Ed, instead of helping, runs out of the room.
Ed is a shy, conservative guy who is there when all of the madness happens. Paralyzed by fear and unable to help Cherry when the attack on her happens right before him, Ed is then lumped in with the other men in her quest for revenge. For this complex character, we came across this fine young actor named Aaron Alexander:
Aaron Alexander is an incredible talent, who we feel very fortunate to have signed on to this pivotal role in Cherry Bomb.
At Aaron’s girlfriend’s request, we’ve included Aaron’s new headshot. Enjoy!

Its Doug. He’s right in the middle of the dance floor. He’s
dressed like someone trying way too hard to get noticed. And
the fact that he’s dancing alone shows that its not working.
In one hand is a Mai Tai.
...
Finally, they are facing each other. Doug shouts over the
loud music.
DOUG
Who are you?
Cherry smiles.
Cherry reaches into his drink and pulls out his maraschino
cherry. She places it onto her tongue.
Then she bites down.
Doug still doesn’t recognize her.
Then Cherry takes off her sunglasses. Doug’s joy turns to
horror.
CHERRY
Just a cherry you popped.
Doug is working as hard as he can to get past his awkward nature to get girls to notice him. He goes to the dance clubs and studies only the best pick up lines. When that fails to quench his thirst for females, he patronizes Cherry’s strip club. Being a regular, Doug was in the VIP room on that fateful night when Cherry was assaulted, and after some goading, joined in. We needed someone with a great look and a lot of energy to play this high volume geek and one man stood out.
In hoping he doesn’t take too much offense in the above paragraph, let’s welcome Conor Nobles to the team!

Officer Whitlock looks at her sternly and is putting the
photos down on her tray again.
OFFICER WHITLOCK
I can’t get them.
Cherry looks confused.
CHERRY
Why?
OFFICER WHITLOCK
Because they weren’t in the VIP
Room Saturday night!
CHERRY
What do you mean!?
OFFICER WHITLOCK
The five men you mentioned to me.
All five had alibis. None of them
were in the room when you were
raped. I don’t know what kind of
game you are playing but you are
lucky that they don’t want to press
charges!
Detective Whitlock proves to be a major catalyst for the action in Cherry Bomb. He was able to be coerced into protecting the men who assaulted Cherry, all while placing the blame on her. It takes someone talented to portray the strength of an officer of the law, all while having to kowtow to forces greater than him. Our search led us to this man:
D. J. Morrison has been featured in The Alamo, Machete, The Life of David Gale and “Friday Night Lights”. We’re looking forward to having him bring you the despicable and loathsome Detective Whitlock.

OFFICER WHITLOCK
(voice rising)
Did you have anything to do with this?
Nurse Jenny looks irritated at Officer Whitlock. She responds before
Cherry can get a word out.
NURSE JENNY
She has been here in bed the whole time.
Even if she wanted to, she would
have been in no shape to leave and go cause
harm to another person!
In Cherry’s time of transition following her brutal attack as she gains her strength back, readying for her revenge, she is nursed and protected by the strong willed Nurse Jenny at the hospital. Filling those nurse’s shoes will be Charissa Jarrett:
Charissa brings great strength to a crucial role in the development of Cherry as a character with her tremendous experience in film and commercials. Welcome to the team, Charissa!
