With SXSW in the rearview, Joe Cornish ought to find international distribution for his alien invasion flick ATTACK THE BLOCK soon enough. We know the flick will screen in its native U.K starting May 13th, but until we know when and where else it’ll play, we have a pair of new clips from the film to up the anticipation.
In the first clip, titled “That’s An Alien,” watch a ragtag band of street-hoods dispatch of a gnarly looking alien beastie. Do it bruv, nothing too terrifying here!
Next up is “They Found Us,” in which a toothy little baddie pops up in sight of a fish-eyed peep-hole.
Starring Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, Luke Treadaway, Joey Anash, Terry Notary, Flamina Cinque and Lee Nicholas Harris – ATTACK THE BLOCK is put in motion when:
Sam is walking home in a scary South London tower block when she’s robbed by a gang of hooded youths. She flees when the gang are attacked by a small alien creature which falls from the sky. While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of creatures falls. The gang grab weapons, mount bikes, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are much bigger. Savage and bestial, nothing will stand in their way. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her only hope.
