Robert Sheehan (Luke in Cherrybomb) has been receiving rave reviews for his latest role in E4’s new series Misfits.

The series premiered 12th November is described as such:

Misfits follows five outsiders on community service who get struck by a flash storm and lumbered with special powers.

Hard as nails Kelly (Lauren Socha) can suddenly hear people’s thoughts, shamed sporting hero Curtis (Nathan Stewart Jarrett) discovers he has the ability to turn back time when he regrets something, and party girl Alisha (Antonia Thomas) can send people into a sexual frenzy when they touch her skin. Even painfully shy Simon (Iwan Rheon) can make himself invisible when he feels he’s being ignored, which makes it all the more hard to swallow for smart aleck Nathan (Robert Sheehan), who seems to have been unaffected, much to his dismay.

Unlike their more conventional counterparts, our misfits don’t swap their ankle tags and mobile phones for capes and tights. Instead, they discover what a pain in the arse life can be when you’re stuck with a super power you didn’t want.

The Guardian gives high praise to Rob Sheehan calling him “the breakout star of the show.”

Meanwhile, The Telegraph says: “Misfits had two further things working very much in its favour: an absolutely cracking script by Howard Overman (who’s previously written for Hustle, Merlin and Spooks: Code 9), and one of the most engaging ensembles of young British talent seen on screen for some time.”

After getting in touch with masses of Rupert fans via the Cherrybomb Facebook page, The Independent has come forward with some great news! Cherrybomb will be distributed in the UK!

“Backed by a website petition and Facebook group boasting more than 10,000 supporters, including over 1,000 Britons, producers secured a major distributor in Britain. Details of the release, planned for early next year, will be announced this week. The Little Film Company is also in negotiation with an American distributor.“

We will announce the official details of the UK distribution deal and release when we receive them sometime this week!

The article also features Rupert Grint himself commenting on the amazing way YOU– the fans– have affected the film’s fate by getting involved in the Cherrybomb Film Campaign!

“I am backing this campaign wholeheartedly,” he said. “I’m delighted by the huge support the film has already received on the official Facebook page and other sites on the web and am so grateful to my fans in particular, who have travelled the world to support the film at festivals and preview screenings.”

Co-director Lisa Barros D’Sa also commented on the subject:

“It started off with Rupert. We have been astonished by it. Even when they heard we were shooting the film in Belfast last year, internet fan sites were interested in Rupert’s role.”

The press for Cherrybomb is really picking up!
