Director Joe Cornish tells MTV News that ‘Starship Troopers’ and ‘Gremlins’ provided unlikely inspiration for alien-invasion flick. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz “Attack The Block” Photo: Studio Canal Although there are some big Hollywood names among this weekend’s new releases “Cowboys & Aliens” and “Crazy, Stupid, Love.,” there is an equally intriguing, if slightly lesser-known film hitting select theaters called “Attack the Block.” What sets “Block” apart from all of the others is that it was shot on a small budget and features a cast of mostly unknown actors. MTV News recently caught up with first-time feature director Joe Cornish to find out how he accomplished so much with so little, and why he thinks his alien-invasion action movie is the best of the summer. “You’re right to observe that this movie cost probably the amount that one of Bruce Willis’ shoes cost,” Cornish joked when asked about the challenges of working on a limited film budget. “Like I say, that was something that excited me; I wanted to do ambitious stuff in an inventive way.” Cornish explained that he and his crew took a unique approach to their aliens, drawing inspiration from a couple of unexpected cult favorites like “Starship Troopers” and “Gremlins.” “We have an alien design we’re proud of. It’s unusual. It’s very different. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before,” he promised. “I like when movies withhold the monster, but I also like — ‘Starship Troopers’ is one of my favorite films, and there comes a point in that movie or in ‘Gremlins,’ where they just show the monster and it becomes about quantity,” he said. “We designed our monster in such a way that we could do that. So we don’t hide it for the whole movie, we expose it and you see them in numbers and in force.” Newcomer actor John Boyega said the film is a thrill ride full of unexpected surprises … and warm hugs? “We were put at ease by [co-star] Nick Frost’s constant hugs and his words of advice and Joe Cornish’s enthusiasm on set,” Boyega said. “It was great to work on that project, it was a great experience,” he added. “It just felt like a fun ride.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Attack the Block.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
We’re going to see a lot of alien attacks onscreen this year. One of the standouts could be Attack the Block from Joe Cornish, which shows what happens when beasties from outer space make their Earth landing near a South London council estate — i.e. the projects. There is some reason to expect good stuff here, as Joe Cornish is a long-time associate of Edgar Wright and was the director’s writing partner… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 03/03/2011 17:13 Number of articles : 5

How could she not? When she began dating him he was married, she’s a smart girl,” a source told OK! Weekly . “She knows men don’t change, she hoped he would, but she always knew deep down this wasn’t forever.” HOWEVER, a friend of Ryan’s says otherwise. This insider told Hollywoodlife.com that Phillippe was the one who called it quits. “Ryan ended the relationship recently while she was in Australia. He asked her to remove her belongings from his house, which she did this weekend,” the source said . So, THG readers: which side do you believe?
