As Attack The Block introduces the idea of aliens versus youths, James comes up with a few high-concept invasion movie ideas of his own...
Here we go again, Earthlings. The aliens keep landing and the alien invasion films keep on landing in cinemas.
Cinematic portrayals of extraterrestrial arrivals are nothing new, but it does seem that recently there's been a hot streak of interest in making new pics that bring outer space organisms down to Terra Firma. This fresh impetus can probably be put down to the success of District 9. Neill Blomkamp's movie showed that interesting things could be done with the alien invasion narrative without astronomical budgets or star names.
Since the fookin' prawns of District 9 dropped in 2009, we've received a range of flicks that seek to pit aliens against people and chronicle close encounters in innovative ways, sometimes successfully and sometimes less so.
