A couple months ago, we published a story that Joe Cornish was working on a script for an Attack The Block sequel. Well, today comes news that the director/writer has officially been offered a deal to make the part two. While the first film was no box office success, it has an amazing cult following that's wanted a sequel for years. This news comes hot on the tail of the original movie's ten year anniversary. As of right now, the story for the second part is being kept under wraps. But both the director and Boyega both made statements that let us know the movie is officially happening. The film will fall under Boyega's production moniker UpperRoom Productions.
There is no word on a release date quite yet but this is what Mr. Boyega had to say in response to the breaking news:
"It's been a decade since Attack the Block was released and so much has changed since then. 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."
The news was just reported on Deadline and will definitely be a welcomed surprise for fans. We'll update as we hear more. Attack the Block launched John Boyega's career. His role got him the part of Finn in the Star Wars sequels.
