One flick I cannot wait to see is Joe Cornish’s ATTACK THE BLOCK. Word coming in from every direction has this thing kicking all kinds of ass. So much so that it’s not only getting sequel talk … but remake and television series talk as well!
Don’t believe me? Well check it our from Mr. Cornish’s himself:
“We’ve had approaches for a remake and a sequel. We’ve had approaches for a TV show to spin off it. But it’s very early days, you know. So it’s not out of the question but very early days, and I’d certainly like to do something different for my next thing if I get a chance to do a next thing.”
Cornish also told IFC, who interviewd the director at the New York Comic Con, that ATTACK THE BLOCK star John Boyega had a few ideas himself for a sequel. Check it:
“[He] keeps coming up with amazing ideas. He has this image of a bigger alien attack on London, as if the attack we saw in ‘Attack the Block’ was just the [first] wave and there’s another wave of bigger creatures. And he described to me this image of Moses leading a whole army of hood kids across the Thames, next to the houses of Parliament. … No, his image was even better. He had an image of Moses on a police horse. You know the police in London who have those horses they use in riots…somehow Moses has got onto one of those horses. So he’s on a horse leading this army of South London kids across the river to take on this bigger wave of aliens. So yeah it’s really fun to think of stuff like that and what we could do.”
Sure there’s nothing set in stone but it’s intriguing to see how far ATTACK THE BLOCK can go. What says you guys? Would you like to see ATTACK THE BLOCK expand to a sequel, remake and/or TV series?
