Ladies and gentlemen, your first look at Shaun of the Dead, Spaced and Hot Fuzz star Nick Frost in Joe Cornish's Attack The Block.

Due to premiere at the upcoming SXSW Film Festival, Attack The Block is the feature debut of Cornish, a frequent collaborator of director Edgar Wright, with whom he collaborated on the script for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson's upcoming Tintin film while also working with Wright on the script for Ant-Man.

Here's the official pitch:

Attack the Block' is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing estate into a sci-fi playground. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And teenage street kids into heroes. It's inner city versus outer space.

More as we get it!

Joe Cornish is, of course, also one half of the fabulous Adam & Joe Show.

Yeah, but nobody outside the UK knows what that means.

Adam and Joe were awesome. Should be interesting.
