Attack The Block Stars Talk To FilmClub

The stars and director of new Brit flick Attack The Block has been chatting to FILMLCUB about their new film, which is showing in UK cinemas now.

16-year-old Nathan - a Young Ambassador for the nationwide education charity - interviewed director/ screenwriter Joe Cornish (The Adam and Joe Show), stars Nick Frost (Paul, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead), Jodie Whittaker (The Kid, St Trinian’s, St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold), Luke Treadway (Killing Bono, Clash of the Titans) and rising stars John Boyega, Franz Drameh, Alex Esmail, Simon Howard and Leon Jones about the film - which centres around a teen gang in South London defending their block of flats from an alien invasion - and about their favourite alien movies.

Nick Frost said; "The aliens in Close Encounters (Of the Third Kind).  That’s my favourite alien movie, my favourite sci-fi movie. I just like the fact that they are nice.  

"They come down and do a weird handshake and we’re all friends and I kind of like that.  Although I say they’re nice but they give all those people back that they’ve abducted so I think they’re nice when it suits them!"

Jodie Whittaker told Nathan that her favourite alien movie was the 1980’s classic Mac And Me, with co-star Luke Treadway agreeing "I used to love that film! I used to watch that so many times. I haven’t thought of that since I was five!"
