It seems that we have some rather nice assets coming into us today with the latest being this rather nice behind the scenes look at Joe Cornish’s new movie, Attack the Block. I got to see the movie at SXSW and you can read my 5* review of it here.

This is a really nice featurette which also focuses on an interview taken with director, Joe Cornish about what we can expect from it and where the idea originally came from. If you’ve not seen it yet, you can also see the trailer for Attach the Block here.

Attack the Block stars Nick Frost, Luke Treadaway and Jodie Whitaker and executive produced by Edgar Wright. It hits UK cinemas 11th May.

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 under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It’s inner city versus outer space.

Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a scary South London tower block when she’s 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 fall. 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 blockĀ¹s, only hope.
