ICYMI: 'ATTACK THE BLOCK 2' Aiming For 'ALIENS'/'TERMINATOR 2' Feel Says Director

Last year we heard that Attack The Block was getting an official sequel with original director, Joe Cornish back behind the camera. Earlier in the week we heard a few more details in regards to what we could expect for the sequel.

We can confirm that John Boyega will be returning as Cesar for the sequel but as far as plot details, we are in the dark just like you, fair reader.

The Kingcast caught up with Cornish this week and he provided a fresh update on the project.

“We have a very detailed treatment and a storyline we’re very, very excited about – and when I say ‘we,’ I mean me and John Boyega, who [I’m co-producing the film with] and consulting very closely with – and we’re doing all the research to make sure we get it right,” Cornish explains to The Kingcast in their latest episode (quotes transcribed by Fangoria).

Cornish adds, “We think about Alien and Aliens and Terminator and Terminator 2, and we wanna take a shot at doing our version of what people did for [those movies].”

Both Aliens and Terminator 2 took smaller, more intimate stories and blew up the scale while super-sizing the action, and we assume that’s what Cornish is referring to here. Are we getting some marines? Here’s hoping this flick turns into an all out war of epic proportions.

We’ll bring you more when we get it.
