Joe Cornish will direct 'Attack The Block'

[namesinspace]

If you look at some of the other photos taken at the event, there is evidence of proper video recording of both interviews (there was a small thing on the IGN stage and also the Panel in the auditorium) so I'm hoping either Kapow or IGN will host something eventually. I've tweeted links to as many photos as I could find....because I am certifiable.

Clint has an interview too this month. There's a teaser here http://titanmagazines.com/t/clint/featu ... us-aliens/

Here's quite a nice write-up by someone who was at that comic convention last week. Scroll to the bottom to read it.

Also, for those who have been reading all the interviews, Joe keeps mentioning that he hired a first-time director of photography for ATB after seeing a phone advert

well I think this is the advert in question http://www.dinedormanagement.co.uk/imag ... ney_90.mov

it's quite nicely done, you can see why joe thought he'd be good for the night shoots.

You can watch more of his ads and music vids etc. here too

edit: actually I think I'm wrong about that ad. I think it's a different Vodafone one that Joe's talking about, not the Virgin one I linked. I can't find that Vodafone one though, but it's mentioned on his CV here in the 2008 section. (PDF warning!)

EDIT 2: Actually, having listened to that podcast below, it is definitely that virgin mobile ad I linked above!

Thanks for keeping an eye on this thread. I should be up to speed again in a couple of days. I'm keeping a page of links to everything. Have we linked all those character profiles here? I need a bit of time to catch up...

[onthinice]

I just had the 1st 2 of them linked and a link to the MTV page with all of them, but I've edited that post above now to include all 5 character individual links.

Here's a podcast of some guys at the attack the block panel from the comic convention the other weekend. http://mindlessones.com/tag/attack-the-block/ I haven't listened yet so it might be rubbish, but you can stream it from that page so no harm in linking.

Edit: yeah skip to 9m10s to get to the ATB bit. It's just some guys holding a dictaphone up in the audience. But it will have to do. I still haven't found a video of that event.

also, (just for giggles) here's the trailer from the film with a Russian over-dub. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhQ-VJBxB8E

I don't know if this is even vaguely interesting to anyone, but it's a slow news day so why not! I suppose it's sort of interesting to see them out of the context of the film.
