Joe Cornish talks ATTACK THE BLOCK TV show, American remake and sequel

Attack the Block was my favorite movie-going experience at a theater, so any sequel or further telling of the story is perfect in my mind. When we were at SDCC this year Director Joe Cornish had teased the idea of a sequel, but would not give many details. Cornish revealed that there are a number of options on the table, including a sequel, a television series and an American remake during an interview with IFC at New York Comic Con.

Here is what he had to say about an idea that John Boyega had to for the sequel:

"[He] keeps coming up with amazing ideas. He has this image of a bigger alien attack on London, as if the attack we saw in 'Attack the Block' was just the [first] wave and there's another wave of bigger creatures. And he described to me this image of Moses leading a whole army of hood kids across the Thames, next to the houses of Parliament."

"No, his image was even better," Cornish continued. "He had an image of Moses on a police horse. You know the police in London who have those horses they use in riots...somehow Moses has got onto one of those horses. So he's on a horse leading this army of South London kids across the river to take on this bigger wave of aliens. So yeah it's really fun to think of stuff like that and what we could do."

Here is what what Cornish had to say about what a sequel would look like and talked about the possibility of other adaptations:

"We've had approaches for a remake and a sequel. We've had approaches for a TV show to spin off it. But it's very early days, you know. So it's not out of the question but very early days, and I'd certainly like to do something different for my next thing if I get a chance to do a next thing."

Here is the video from NYCC to watch for yourself:

I would support an American remake but I would prefer to see a sequel to the film. No one else could play the roles like the original cast. What are your thoughts on this news?
