Joe Cornish has come a long way from Adam & Joe, with Attack The Block setting him up as a director to look out for. Now Fox has hired Joe Cornish to helm the graphic novel adaptation Rust, from a script by Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada, We Bought A Zoo).
The story is being compared to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, centring on a struggling family of farmers who are trying to stay afloat in the aftermath of a devastating world war. However the family’s lives are turned upside-down by the arrival of a jetpack-wearing boy, who crashes into their barn while being chased by a giant old war robot.
It’s not known if this will be Cornish’s next film. He also has Snow Crash in development and has been flirting with a few other things as well. (Source: THR)
