Joe Cornish will direct 'Attack The Block'

[namesinspace]

As Joe almost implied during the Christmas podcast intro, the release date was not set in stone and it would seem that it has now changed to Friday, 13th May. This change must be fairly recent as the IMDb elves haven't picked it up yet.

According to Variety, Attack the Block will 'unspool' in Berlin.

Hammer Films’ 'The Woman in Black,' above, Pathe’s Margaret Thatcher biopic 'Iron Lady' and StudioCanal’s kids-in-the-projects vs. aliens film 'Attack the Block' will all be on offer in Berlin.

StudioCanal's Harold Van Lier points to a new generation of extremely well-informed and very demanding filmgoers targeted by pics like his company's co-production "Attack the Block," a kids-in-the-projects vs. aliens concept, which will unspool in Berlin.

Do you accept house guests?

It's not in the main programme so it's just for markets....it may only be a taster....which would be a disaster for me to see. In the meantime.....

Mates, BREAKING NEWS: it's gonna premiere at SXSW!

Attack The Block to receive SXSW world premiere

Opens on March 11th, so apparently it will be two months early?

Excellent JaHa. I just tweeted and was going to come in here next.....oh wait, I see you've used a Screen Daily link that has a paywall for most mortals This is from the SXSW site.

There's a little bit in the Guardian about the street casting too.

[JaHa]

Ah apologies there, the excitement must have got to me. I do hope it hits the UK soon after SXSW, no idea how these things work though... Fingers crossed and that!

It's currently booked to start on Friday 13th May in the UK.
