Film’s star has an idea for a part 2
It’s all just chatter right now, but Joe Cornish is making the press rounds in New York and he told IFC there are plans to expand the world of Attack the Block.
“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,” Cornish said, “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.”
Nice to hear that an American studio feels the need to redo the film here in the U.S. Hope that never, ever happens.
Cornish also said that the film’s star, John Boyega, came up with a killer sequel: “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.”
Attack the Block hits U.S. DVD and Blu-ray October 25.
