Attack the Block premieres to wide acclaim at SXSW

If the activity on Twitter two minutes after the film finished on Sunday was anything to go by, very few people were disappointed with what they saw and many were thrilled beyond their already high expectations.

Edgar Wright introduced cast members Nick Frost and Luke Treadaway to the stage before the film and finally, after a touching precis of their friendship so far, let Joe Cornish present his film to a very appreciative festival audience. Joe, Edgar and Luke stayed for a Q & A afterwards.

On Sunday, Joe and Nick were interviewed by Matt Singer in the Crossroads House studio for IFC.
Part Two starts with the trailer.
