In that original film, Boyega played the lead role of Moses, a young gang leader in London who mobilizes his posse to thwart an invasion by aliens.<\/p>\r\n<p><em><strong>Attack the Block<\/strong> <\/em>marked Cornish\u2019s debut as a writer-director as well as being an early showcase for Boyega\u2019s acting abilities. The film was also acclaimed for the way it addressed some of the social issues that drove disaffected young Londoners of color\u2014aliens of a sort themselves\u2014into gang activities. <br \/><br \/>\u201cWe\u2019ve collaborated heavily on making a story that makes sense for Moses and the other characters, and the new characters that will be coming up in the sequel too,\u201d Boyega told <em>Collider<\/em> interviewer Christina Radish. \u201cAnd then, also, there\u2019s different perspectives in writing it, with Joe having his perspective and me having mine.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Boyega and Cornish already have the narrative roughed out for the new film, says the actor. The story will, he adds, \u201cblow the dust off\u201d the original script and describe how Moses has aged and grown over the past eleven years in a London that has also changed considerably.<br \/><br \/>\u201cWe\u2019re just tryin\u2019 to make sure we explore all of that while bringing in a whole different vibe to that crazy ass first movie that we made,\u201d Boyega told <em>Collider<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>No release date for <em><strong>Attack the Block 2<\/strong><\/em> has yet been announced, but Boyega promises audiences they won\u2019t have to wait too long: \u201cWe\u2019re quite close.We\u2019re gettin\u2019 there. Obviously, we don\u2019t wanna release no dates to anybody because we wanna take care of the creative process.
