Attack The Block is one of my favourite movies of the year and here’s an interesting piece of news. Like most good non-American films, a possibility of a remake is on the cards for American audiences. Frankly, I would be hugely opposed to this notion, but I’m staying quiet. Director, Joe Cornish was at New York Comic Con and mentioned an idea that alien ass kicker and all round hero, Moses had.
"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," Cornish continued. "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."
That all sounds great and if there were to be a sequel, the only possible way it could work is for a larger invasion. I wonder how a TV spin off would work? Interesting times ahead for Attack The Block!
