Attack the Block has been showing at film festivals and also had a small theatrical promotional event. Unfortunately, many people (including us!) were unable to make it out to see the film, but Screen Gems is giving the film a full theatrical release.
Feedback from this movie has been really great and Screen Gems must be confident, because they have given Attack the Block a release date of July 29th.
If you're not familiar with the film, here is a brief plot synopsis: “Attack the Block is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It’s inner city versus outer space.
The London-set action-adventure ATTACK THE BLOCK stars Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway, Jumayn Hunter, and Nick Frost. The Big Talk Pictures production was produced by Nira Park and James Wilson. Matthew Justice, Tessa Ross, Jenny Borgars, Will Clarke, Olivier Courson, and Edgar Wright executive produced."
