So it’s been quite a while since we talked about Joe Cornish’s hit UK horror/comedy ATTACK THE BLOCK, hasn’t it? For a project that was turning heads everywhere it went this Summer the ATTACK THE BLOCK camp has sure been quiet since it’s very limited theatrical run. But that all changes today!
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog the highly acclaimed alien flick is finally set to hit DVD and Blu-Ray here in the US. When might that be happening? How about a drum roll first? .. October 25th!
From the producers of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, ATTACK THE BLOCK follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who try to defend their turf against an invasion of savage alien creatures, turning a South London apartment complex into an extraterrestrial warzone.
The movie will come with five featurettes – under the monikers “Behind the Block,” “Creature Feature,” “Meet the Gang,” “Unfilmed Action,” and “That’s a Rap.” There’s also three filmmaker and cast commentaries, with Cornish leading one with his young cast, a second he conducts with the adult actors, and a third one he does with producer Edgar Wright.
ATTACK THE BLOCK sports a cast that includes Jodie Whittaker (below), John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway, Jumayn Hunter and Nick Frost.
So there you have it folks! ATTACK THE BLOCK hits DVD shelves everywhere on October 25th. Something tells me you’ve already got that date marked on your calender, don’t you?
