From TMP:
At this year's Comic Con, I got the chance to catch the final free screening of Joe Cornish's Attack the Block. Ever since the film premiered at SXSW in March, Attack the Block has been touring around the country, with free screenings in pretty much all major cities in the US. There last stop was San Diego, as they presented the final screening of the film for a group of rabid Comic Con fans. The buzz for the film has been growing more and more with each passing screening and finally, after three months of free screenings, Screen Gems is releasing the film in limited release in eight cities across the country. Is it worth your money?
Attack the Block 2 is officially in the works, with Joe Cornish returning to direct and John Boyega back on board to star.
What made Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block so fresh and lively in comparison to its American counterparts?
Since making its debut at the SXSW festival back in March 2011, Attack the Block has garnered a cult following with its tale of Brit hood teens VS man eating alien invaders winning acclaim worldwide.
With the film about to be released on Blu-Ray/DVD in Australia, director Joe Cornish talks to Matt’s Movie Reviews about his favourite alien invasion movies.
Enjoy!
