You guys remember us telling you all about that British flick ATTACK THE BLOCK, right? A few months back we were pimping article after article on this thing and then we hit somewhat of a lull. Well with Comic-Con in full-swing today we’ve got a couple new BLOCK goods straight from the Con! You can thank me later.
Courtesy of Sony Screen Gems we’ve got ourselves a brand new theatrical trailer for the kids vs. aliens flick and thanks to Yahoo! we’ve also got a brand new clip to feast our eyes on. Oh how I love Comic-Con. Just scroll down below for the goods and enjoy! You can pop on over to Yahoo! for an HD look at the clip.
Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a scary South London tower block and gets robbed by a gang of masked, hooded youths. She’s saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. Sam flees, just before the gang are attacked by a small alien creature that leaps from the wreckage. The gang chase the creature and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block, which they treat as their territory.
While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of meteors falls. Confident of victory against such feeble invaders, the gang grab weapons, mount bikes and mopeds, and set out to defend their turf. But this time the creatures are bigger. Much bigger. Savage, shadowy and bestial, they are hunting their fallen comrade, and nothing will stand in their way. The estate is about to become a battleground! And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her, and the block’s, only hope.
Coming from director Joe Cornish and starring Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker (below), John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway and Jumayn Hunte, ATTACK THE BLOCK has been scoring rave reviews wherever it hits. That doesn’t happen to often so when this thing hits theaters next week on July 29th do yourselves a favor and check it out!
