Exclusive: Joe and Anthony Russo’s upstart studio Agbo has moved into an exclusive negotiation for Cherry, the just published “novel” by first-time author Nico Walker. Agbo bid a $1 million outright buy for the Knopf book, which parallels the true life story of the author, a former Army medic who returned from Iraq with extreme un-diagnosed Ptsd and fell into opioid addiction and began robbing banks. Walker was caught in 2011 and is scheduled to be released in 2020.
The Russos are looking to make this the next film they direct. They helmed the summer’s biggest film, Avengers: Infinity War, and they are fine-tuning the sequel to that film which they shot back to back and which Marvel and Disney release next summer. The Cherry script will be written by Jessica Goldberg, who is adapting the novel Exit West for Agbo and was creator and Ep on the Hulu series The Path.
