CLEVELAND — If you've ever dreamt of appearing on the silver screen, two feature films are set to finish filming in Cleveland and extras are still needed.
The first film, called “Cherry,” is based on a true story of a former army medic who struggles with opioid addiction after serving in Iraq, and his subsequent time he spent as a bank robber to support his drug addiction.
Directed by the Russo Brothers, it stars Bill Skarsgård from the "IT" movies and Tom Holland of "Spider-Man" fame. The movie will be shot in Cleveland through December.
The second film, currently known as the "Untitled Fred Hampton Project,” is based on true events about Fred Hampton, the outspoken leader of the Chicago Black Panther Party and his formation of the Rainbow Coalition in the late 60s.
The movie is helmed by Ryan Coogler, who directed Marvel's "Black Panther." It stars Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Standfield, who both appeared in the film "Get Out."
The film is the account of unlikely groups uniting as allies to fight for a shared goal to combat racism and police brutality.
