Attacking the update of block 2: John Boyega says: “It will happen” and “the story is crazy”

More than a decade later Attack the block It has been released, it has become a cult-classical film. It seems that Moses is preparing to return to action e John Boyega It is very excited for this.

During a recent appearance on the Podcast Happy Sad Confused, Boyega confirmed that he had read the script Attack the block 2Written by the original director Joe CornishAnd he made fun of what he promises to be a wild return to the alien infested streets of South London.

“I read it, friend. It’s beautiful, brother. It’s nice. Yes, I read it. Joe Cornish has done a phenomenal job on his draft. And we are only cooking it to do it well for everyone. And of course we need more money for those aliens.

“We want it to look really nice for that crowd of 2026. But for us, it is only a matter of developing the story and making sure that Moses and the rest of the characters we have left are completely elaborated before pulling it out and going to shoot.

“But I am very passionate and very willing to shoot block 2. It will happen. You will have to see, but the story is crazy. I have to go to the gym, Jesus.”

So this is an exciting update! The original Attack the block It was such a fantastic film and introduced the public to Moses and his band of teenagers on Guy Fawkes’ night while fighting from a brutal alien invasion in their holding the London Council.

He mixed science fiction, horror, social comment and comedy in something fun and fresh. The film did not detonate the box office (he earned only $ 6.2 million globally), but left a lasting mark on those who saw him. The film had a gritty style, fantastic creatures drawings and a story by Bonkers.

Boyega and Cornish planned this sequel for a while. In 2021, Cornish said: “John Boyega was round in my place a few weeks ago and we sat in the garden – socially spaced – speaking of ideas for history until it was so dark that we could not see each other. So, yes, we are working on it.”

In the same year, Attack the block 2 It was officially announced, marking the tenth anniversary of the film. Not only Boyega is returning to the camera, but is also producing. Boyega previously offered an update on the movie saying:

“We are close enough. We are getting there. Obviously, we don’t want to release dates to anyone because we want to deal with the creative process.

“We have the main spine of the story, but we are still in the laboratory, just make sure that the story is right. The story is everything. But it will not take too much.

He discussed that he understands his character and how he thinks about what he would do now. The adult version of the character that we will eventually see in the sequel that describes as “bloody drug”. He said:

“He is a character that I really understand. In creating him when I was younger, I really understand where he is now. It is the character who is blocked with me longer. Every year I think:” I wonder what Moses is doing now. “So I jump inside again and I think this version of Moses, if people can think of everything they have passed, is damn bleeding drugs.”

Cornish spoke of devoting himself to time to correctly develop the sequel, also the reference films such as Aliens AND Terminator 2 As creative benchmark, not in a necessarily scale, but in the way they significantly evolved their stories and their characters.

I can’t wait to see what they invented for the sequel! I have no doubts that they will deliver a fantastic sequel.
