It’s no secret that both director Joe Cornish and star John Boyega have previously discussed the possibilities of a sequel to Attack the Block, their cult sci-fi horror film from 2011 that followed a teen gang in South London who must defend their block from an alien invasion.
Last February, Boyega stoked the flames once more when he reminded fans that he’d be up for reprising the role of Moses if he was asked. Boyega posted a screen grab from the film to IG, and when asked about a potential sequel replied, “If the supporters want it then I’ll have to get back to Peckham ASAP.”
In more recent news, Cornish appeared on the ScriptApart podcast where he once again brought up the possibilities of an Attack the Block sequel, but added that he’s had fresh conversations with Boyega a few months ago!
“We’ve got ideas. I met with John a couple of months ago to talk about it,” he told the podcast.
“We’ve always had ideas after the first one. But obviously we’ve both been busy doing different things.”
When Cornish spoke about a sequel to Attack the Block back in 2011 (with IFC), he noted that Boyega had lots of ideas rattling around in his head for the potential return of Moses.
“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,” Cornish relayed at the time. “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. 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.”
