A decade after the original movie hit theaters and won audiences over with its brutally entertaining mix of sci-fi, comedy and horror, a sequel to Attack the Block is officially in development from Studiocanal, Film4, Complete Fiction Pictures and UpperRoom Productions.
Joe Cornish is returning to write and direct, and John Boyega is set to reprise the role of Moses.
“It’s been a decade since Attack The Block was released and so much has changed since then,” said the Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor. “I’m excited to see this heightened story return to the streets of London. Moses has remained one of my favourite characters to play and bringing him back is a huge honour.”
“I’m thrilled we’re officially announcing our return to the world of Attack The Block on the tenth anniversary of the film’s release," added Cornish. "I can’t wait to work alongside John again, bringing audiences an even bigger slice of inner-city alien action.”
The first film saw Moses and his gang protect their neighborhood against murderous alien invaders. Though plot details for the sequel are under wraps, it'll probably have a similar premise. Now word on whether female lead Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who) will also return as Samantha.
No release or production start dates have been announced.
