Ever since Joe Cornish's ATTACK THE BLOCK was released in theaters, the low-budget alien invasion thriller has built up a sizable fan base and there are demands that a sequel should be made. Now the director himself revealed there are several ideas for a possible follow-up, one of which comes from star John Boyega. Here's what Cornish had to say about Boyega's ATTACK THE BLOCK sequel idea.
[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.
Oh, wait! There's more, as Cornish also expressed interest that there might be an American remake and a TV series as well.
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.
ATTACK THE BLOCK was one of the most entertaining "alien invasion" genre movies I have seen this year. A follow-up is definitely more than welcome to check out for.
