Make ScreenUK.org your next stop.The film that launched the careers of a Star Wars star, a Doctor, and even a DC superhero (albeit a deep cut)! Yes, that's right, we're talking about cult classic, Attack the Block, this week. For those of you who haven't had the pleasure yet (and seriously, this movie is a blast, so if you haven't seen it, go check it out right now!), Attack the Block is a 2011 science fiction/horror film written and directed by Joe Cornish and starring future Star Wars franchise hero John Boyega and historic Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker. The film follows a group of teenagers living in a South London housing estate who defend their neighborhood from an alien invasion. So what flies and what doesn't? Well, these aliens have come from the outer reaches of space and crash-landed on Earth, with the females spreading their pheromones and attracting a horde of ferocious males from across the solar system to Earth, so Hakeem takes a look at everything from the basic concept of pheromones to how the sun's magnetic field allows for things like “solar sailing” to take place. Tamara unpacks not only the aliens themselves, but also gives everyone some background info on how the unique look of these terrifying creatures was realized onscreen.And that's only the beginning of the fun in our latest episode! Remember that you can join in on the conversation in the comments on our YouTube page, so be sure to like, subscribe, and come back for more!FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Here are a few recommendations!Pheromones“Pheromones are chemistry and biology. Chemistry and biology have something in them that physics doesn't have. Do you know what that is? Nasty! Bodily fluids and things like that.”‘Oumuamua“We know it came from outside of our solar system, for one reason only: the speed at which it was moving.”Oort cloud“There is allegedly a spherical distribution of comets called the Oort cloud that surrounds the solar system, so sometimes comets do come in from over the poles of the sun or something like that, so it's not in the plane of the orbit.”Parker Solar Probe“As far as traveling through space on solar rays, that is something that can actually be done. There's different forms of propulsion. There's electric sail propulsion. You can have a physical sail. You can have an electric sail, where you create an electric field, and because the particles streaming away from the sun and other stars are electrically charged you can get a thrust out of that. Or you can have a magnetic sail [which] is pretty clever.”Attack the Block's Aliens Were Just as Terrifying Behind the ScenesTamara gives everyone some info on alien performer Terry Notary but there's all kinds of additional fun info here for you to help fill in the blanks on just what made these creatures so convincingly scary.SUGGESTED VIEWINGAttack the Block is so much fun very much because of the unique sensibility of writer/director Joe Cornish. And first of all, we must once again ask, if you haven't seen Attack the Block yet, what are you waiting for? This movie is a treasure! Go watch!Cornish wrote (along with Edgar Wright and Stephen Moffat) 2011's criminally-underrated The Adventures of TinTin film (where's the trilogy we were promised?!?) But you can also see his influence in Marvel Studios' first Ant-Man movie (which he helped write) and Netflix's sadly gone-after-one-season Lockwood & Co. FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

This week the Boys absolutely don't know anything about Marijuana at all, in any capacity, actually, so why don't you just back off and stop asking questions, 'for you get merked?? The 2004 film "Attack the Block," directed by Joe Cornish, is a unique and exhilarating blend of science fiction, action, and comedy. Set against the backdrop of a gritty London neighbourhood, the movie follows a group of streetwise teenagers who must defend their block from an alien invasion. When extra-terrestrial creatures crash into their surroundings, chaos ensues, and the unlikely heroes are thrust into a battle for their lives. "Attack the Block" masterfully combines elements of suspense and humour, drawing audiences into the characters' world and emphasizing their growth as they evolve from petty criminals to defenders of their community. The film's clever writing, charismatic performances, and unexpected twists contribute to its captivating storytelling, offering a fresh take on both alien invasion and coming-of-age themes. What sets "Attack the Block" apart is its exploration of social dynamics within a marginalised urban setting. The film doesn't shy away from addressing issues of race, class, and identity, providing a layered backdrop for the alien conflict. As the characters grapple with their own struggles and confront preconceived notions about each other, the movie takes on a deeper and more thought-provoking dimension. Alongside the thrilling action sequences, the film also finds moments of levity and camaraderie, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of its young protagonists. "Attack the Block" manages to seamlessly blend its genre elements with social commentary, resulting in an engaging and memorable cinematic experience that resonates beyond its extra-terrestrial premise.

Have you ever wondered what it is like screenwriting inside the Marvel and Studio machine? Wonder no further, today we have screenwriter and director Joe Cornish. Joe was one of the writer's on Marvel's Ant-Man. The English comedian and filmmaker burst onto the scene in 2011 with his very successful film directorial debut, Attack The Block, starring John Boyega, who played Moses, a low-level crook, teenage gang leader, an orphan looking for respect around the block. The British sci-fi comedy horror film centers on a teenage street gang who have to defend themselves and their block from predatory alien invaders on Guy Fawkes Night.Cornish and his comedy partner, Adam Buxton form the successful duo, Adam & Joe an ironic pop culture sketch show which gained a lot of success in the UK alongside Cornish's long-term work in the UK TV entertainment industry. In 2011 he joined iconic directors, Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg as a writer for the screenplay and story for the 3D animated action-adventure film, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn --- co-written alongside Edgar Wright and Steven Moffat.Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor.This $135 million budget film grossed $374 million at the box office and received a plethora of nominations including Oscars for Best Original Score, a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, two BAFTA nominations for Best Animated Film and Best Special Visual Effects.Cornish co-wrote the screenplay for the Marvel Comic character, Ant-Man, along with Wright, Adam McKay, and Paul Rudd in 2015.Rudd, starring as Ant-Man is armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world. Similar to most Marvel Studio movies, the film carried a big budget of $169.3 million and grossed $519.3 million.His latest film, The Kid Who Would Be King (2019), which was written undirected by Cornish, joins a band of kids who embarks on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.Joe honestly, was extremely forthcoming and transparent about a lot of things; like what really happened behind the scenes on Ant-Man and what it's like to write inside the Marvel machine, working with filmmaking legends like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. And we also discuss his craft, how he approaches screenwriting and directing, and much more.Enjoy this conversation with Joe Cornish.
