John Boyega Wants to Once Again Work With ‘Attack the Block’ Director
In 2011, Joe Cornish brought the world to a new breed of sci-fi/horror comedy in the form of the wickedly entertaining and absolutely charming Attack the Block, a movie that introduced the world to the now beloved John Boyega (The Force Awakens). The movie won critical acclaim and multiple awards throughout various festivals and was considered by many to be one of the best of the year.
Now it appears that Boyega is keen on working once again with the writer/director, saying that the two are “brainstorming“, although no other specifics have been given.
Fans shouldn’t hope for or expect a sequel to Attack the Block however as Boyega adds that the two are working on “something new”.
Boyega was recently confirmed to appear in Pacific Rim 2 where he’ll be playing the son of Idris Elba. You can read all about that here.
Saw Joe Cornish the other day. Yes. We are brainstorming. #somethingnew

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
