Joe Cornish
(opens in new tab)
Along with his presenting partner Adam Buxton, Joe Cornish has been a bit of a hero to us at SFX Towers for the best part of two decades now. But 2011 was the year he broke big, as director of the taut, street-savvy alien invasion comedy Attack The Block , and as one of the writers on The Adventures Of Tintin .
Not many directors go from producing woolly-toy remakes of classic films to guzzling up awards for the debut feature and having their first screenwriting credit on a Steven Spielberg film. Like Simon Pegg, he’s our geeky representative in the top tier, and it seems inconceivable, given his immersion in geek culture, that he could ever do something that wouldn’t interest us.
Next up may well be the long-gestating Ant-Man that he’s co-written for director Edgar Wright. And hopefully more 6Music DJ-ing. And please, don’t give up the woolly-toy films.
What should he do next? Stay in the UK, Joe. As much as we love Edgar Wright, we prefer his films with a British accent.
