ATTACK THE BLOCK
May 4 saw London's world-famous Leicester Square tool up for the UK premiere of Joe Cornish's feature debut ATTACK THE BLOCK – the movie which an age-old question, posed by scientists and philosophers the world over: what would happen if ferocious aliens invaded a South London council estate. Joining the director on the red carpet were his gang-members and chief alien hunters John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones and Simon Howard as well as other cast members Nick Frost, Jodie Whitaker and Luke Treadaway. Also in attendance were the film's producers Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Believe, bruv.
From the producers of Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World and Paul, ATTACK THE BLOCK is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground, a tower block into a fortress, and teenage street kids into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space
A Big Talk Pictures production, ATTACK THE BLOCK was produced by Nira Park and James Wilson. Matthew Justice, Tessa Ross, Jenny Borgars, Will Clarke, Olivier Courson and Edgar Wright executive produced.
ATTACK THE BLOCK is released by Optimum Releasing and will open nationwide on May 11th, 2011
