Optimum Releasing have been kind enough to pass these three new TV spots our way for their awesome new movie, Attack the Block. I saw it again for a second time a couple of days ago before attending the premiere (our premiere report and interviews here) with Jon and I was wondering if it’s possible to give a movie [Rating:6/5]?! You can see my review from SXSW that I wrote here or check out the trailer for the movie here.
Attack the Block is directed by Joe Cornish and stars Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, Chris Wilson, Luke Treadaway, Joey Ansah, Lee Nicholas Harris and executive produced by Edgar Wright. It hits UK cinemas next Wednesday, 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 block’s, only hope.
Have a watch of these three new TV spots below to give you a little taster of what you can expect from the movie.
