Star Wars actor John Boyega went to the Black Lives Matter protest rally in London today, where he gave an impassioned, moving speech to the people there. "I'm speaking to you from my heart, look, I don't know if I'm going to have a career after this, but f— that." he started. He spoke through […]
Americans know him for his directorial debut Attack the Block, which introduced John Boyega before he was cast as Finn in the current Star Wars trilogy.Snow Crash is Stephenson’s second novel It's also the one that put him on the map as a major Science Fiction author It takes a “throw everything AND the kitchen[...]
Wyatt was probably never going to pan out since he gets attached to a new film every other day, and it's about time Cornish got back behind the camera since he hasn't directed anything since Attack the Block, which is a shame.The film is scheduled to shoot in summer 2014, so there's some time for[...]
Attack The Block was written and directed by Joe Cornish, collaborator on the Ant Man and Tintin movie scripts with Edgar Wright Edgar also produced the film And it's having its network premiere on Channel 4 in the UK right now.Which is why the interactive motion comic Brandon Generator, created by Tommy Lee Edwards, Edgar[...]
Check out this jingle from The Adam & Joe Radio Show, the lamented BBC
6 Music highlight from Adam Buxton and Attack the Block director Joe Cornish.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmrNzk9kf4I[/youtube]Clearly something 'royalty free.'Thanks to Superhero Hype for the webisode. The starting point for this mini-sitcom episode is that Nathan Fillion and Tim Daly have both provided voices for animated[...]
Attack the BlockSuccessful as both a big, bold action film, complete with monster movie scares and an iconic hero, and as a great character comedy Executing a film that blends genres this intrinsically is always tricky, but debut director Joe Cornish seems to have drawn on a legacy of films that he really, truly loved,[...]
Right now, Amazon in the US are offering online rentals of Attack the Block for just $0.99 Clearly, that's an offer too good to pass up.I think it's the best film I've seen this year - so far at least - but lots of other people have shared their enthusiasm for the film too:
A superb[...]
I've really, truly loved Tyrannosaur, Arrietty, Crazy, Stupid Love and lots of other films this year, but so far, none has meant as much to me as Attack the Block.But I've said it before, and I'll keep it on repeat: I'm not at all precious about remakes or sequels If somebody wants to have a[...]
Here's a PSA starring Joe Cornish and John Boyega, the director and lead actor of Attack the Block It's most amusing.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQLa_8XvMCM[/youtube]Attack the Block remains the best film I've seen all year, and despite some stiff competition Please go see it, I really think you're very likely to fall in love with it.I also agree with[...]
The US trailer has played, and we're now into a clip. Edgar Wright and John Boyega are charming the pants of the crowd, but this is Joe's show, and so it should be. Cornish has made a remarkable film and I think Hall H must be in the process of falling in love with it. […]
If you’re lucky enough to be in the UK right now you’ll be able to catch up with Nick Frost in the extraordinary Attack the Block His is not one of the central roles, though he's got some great scenes and he’s probably the biggest name on the poster As such, he’s been very busy[...]
There's an awful lot of Attack the Block content coming your way in the next few days of Bleeding Cool Why? Because it's a really very good film, the people who made it are smart and interesting, and there's a lot to be said about it.But we'll start with something quite light, and intermittently a[...]
There are four not-very-revealing pictures included, one of which is above.Now, I'm thinking this is some kind of Attack the Block publicity stunt Here's the evidence:It's appeared for auction now, just before the film is due for release.
It's being sold from London, where the film is set - not to mention being promoted from
The seller[...]
The aliens in Attack the Block are at once very familiar and brilliantly original And they've got really, really scary teeth.Who ever designed the above new poster seems to have worked out at least that last part for themselves.If you can help me remember what it is I'm reminded of (besides the opening credits of[...]
Can't get enough of that Attack the Block stuff? Then load up the inkjet and get ready to print, because thanks to Edinburgher Sally, creator of We Are Paper People, you can now build your own gang of South London hoodies out of nothing more than good old 80gsm.She's provided cut-out-and-crease designs for five of[...]
I've now seen Attack the Block, having been leaning forward intently, tracking its every move for a couple of years I don't want to go into too much detail right now, but I think it's a great film, probably better even than its reputation amongst the bloggers, critics and festival punters who have seen it[...]
I was particularly relieved that the crowds were thin enough that one could walk around freely, and anything up to medium-sized cat could have been swung quite happily just about anywhere in the building. Next year, I'd personally like to see more film business, but I suppose that's like Rich asking for more comic book events[...]
That's one more hurdle jumped - or if I know Wright and Cornish, leapt.Cornish also said that he has some definite ideas for an Attack the Block sequel so "maybe one day" he'll get to make it.More to follow...UPDATE: Asked if the Ant Man script was based on any run of the comics in particular[...]
Doubters, stop doubting, because the redoubtable Attack the Block is coming to the US of A.Joe Cornish's sci-fi action comedy - something like John Carpenter with a slightly more humorous sense of humour - has proven to be a huge hit with the privileged few who've already seen it Here's the trailer and first TV[...]
This first TV spot for Joe Cornish's Attack the Block was premiered during an episode of Skins Must be the sci-fi connection they were working there.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0hV-mGeFCE[/youtube]Apologies to any visitors from outside of South London who sadly won't have been able to understand a single word of that without subtitles[...]
