Joe Cornish will 'Attack The Block'
Joe Cornish will make his directorial debut on sci-fi action comedy Attack The Block, reports Screen Daily.

One half of the Adam And Joe comedy pairing, Cornish has written the script for the Film4 project. The story centres around hoodies living on a Peckham estate who join together to fend off an alien invasion.

Cornish recently collaborated with Hot Fuzz helmer Edgar Wright on the screenplay for Steven Spielberg's The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn. The pair also worked together on an Ant-Man adaptation for Marvel.

Cornish currently presents a Saturday morning radio show for BBC 6 Music with comedy partner Adam Buxton.
