Misprinted Cherry’s Poster Confused Audience

 Variety apologizes for sharing the wrong version of Tom Holland’s upcoming movie, Cherry’s poster.

Joe and Anthony Russo’s upcoming film Cherry is a crime drama movie based on Nico Walker’s novel of the same name. Holland is in the protagonist’s role alongside Ciara Bravo as Emily, Jack Reynor as Roy, Michael Rispoli, Jeff Wahlberg, Forrest Goodluck, Michael Gandolfini, Kyle Harvey Pooch Hall. The movie’s plot revolves around a PTSD patient and an army medic who becomes addicted to opioids and begins to rob banks to buy his drugs.

Russo brothers are behind the project. The duo is best known for their movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe- Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Endgame, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Avengers: Infinity War. Endgame is the highest-grossing film of all time and collected a gross of $2.79 billion worldwide.

However, Cherry will be different from superhero movies. It will have a more realistic and gritty tone. The film is like multiple movies in one. In one of the interviews with Collider, the Russo brothers shared that the movie will explore the protagonist’s fifteen-year life cycle. Each part is shot as a different film, which is connected in a way. Every chapter depicts absurdism, humor, brutal realism, and horror—each with distinct cinematic choices.

Cherry is scheduled to release on 26 February 2021 in theatres and stream on Apple TV+ on 12 March 2021. February release date would make the movie eligible for the awards season. Like any other award contender, the film has also released an advert in Variety’s trade publication. However, a small mistake invited unwanted jokes and trolls on Twitter.

On 23rd December, Variety shared a poster that mangled Cherry’s title, making it incomprehensible to read. The magazine then shared a new poster and called the previous one a “digital misprint.” It was too late for the damage control, and the audience already began to troll the poster.

A movie reviewer, Chris Evangelista, called the poster “appallingly bad” and wondered how it got through the quality control process. He wrote: “This is an appalling bad poster, good lord. Why isn’t the title centered? Why is the title apparently CHERRKK? What is happening? Tom Holland IS Larry Cherkk in CHERKK.” And he cracked a joke by writing, “You’re out of control, Cherkk!! Get out of my office!”

Deputy Entertainment Editor at Mashable, Angie J. Han, wrote, “you know it’s bad when you *know what the title of the movie is* and still can’t see how the logo could spell it.”

After a few hours, Variety posted the correct poster of the film and captioned it with an apology, “Variety apologizes for our mistake in the digital misprint of the ad for the film “Cherry.” This is not up to our standards. Here is the corrected version of the ad.”

The mistake was embarrassing for both the team of Cherry and Variety. The wrong poster has pushed the film into the social media spotlight, which gets it more negative publicity. The start of the movie’s marketing is not a good one, as the poster of the movie is the first piece of promotional material. Now since the team has released the posters, the teaser trailer might also be on its way.

The devoted fans are undoubtedly hoping that the film would be better than the wrong poster. The poster features Holland in a red background. The actor has a serious look on his face, and the color tone depicts the tension in the movie.

Holland has previously appeared majorly in superhero films, but the actor can carry the more dramatic movie. Cherry is one such movie which would explore the acting depth of the young actor.
