Attack the Block is looking increasingly more like last year’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. It is one of the best times you’ll have at the theaters and connect with a small subsection of people, but will likely fail at the box-office before becoming a cult hit. We’ve featured many trailers before, but the official US theatrical one has premiered and it is well worth showing off. Directed by Joe Cornish, the Edgar Wright-produced film stars Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Simon Howard, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, and Alex Esmail. Check out the new trailer below via Yahoo, followed by a new clip.
Synopsis:
The film follows a gang of tough inner-city kids who rob Sam (Whittaker) as she is walking home in a scary South London tower block. She flees when the gang is attacked by a small alien creature which falls from the sky. While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of creatures falls. The gang grabs weapons, mount bikes, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are much bigger. Savage and bestial, nothing will stand in their way. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her only hope.
Attack the Block hits theaters July 29th, 2011.
