new Attack the Block trailer

Like any good nerd I love British things. Red Dwarf, the IT Crowd, Madonna, the original Office, Lord British, so I guess it's a given that I'd be super pumped to see Attack of the Block.

I'm hoping British street toughs fighting monsters becomes sort of a film sub-genre. First they fight aliens, then predators, vampires, werewolves.. In ten years SyFy channel will do a made for TV movie where they can fight zombie Vin Diesel. Hooligans vs Zombdiesel. Of course Eric Roberts would play Zombdiesel.

Attack the Block Trailer

I keep hearing about this movie Attack the Block and how radly British it's going to be. It's from the Shaun of the Dead fellas and it's about teenagers fighting aliens so it's practically swimming in nerdery. The fine folks at bleeding cool have been all over this thing saying how great it is. There have also been a lot of comparisons to the Goonies, which is great to hear but come on.. it's no Goonies.

Still, the trailer looks pretty good. It doesn't have a US release date yet, so who knows when we'll get to see it over here. Of course if you're morally challenged and have a high speed connection you've probably already seen it. In which case go ahead and leave a review in the comments.
