Joe Cornish to direct fantasy adventure The Kid Who Would Be King

May 7, 2017 by Gary Collinson

It’s been six years since the release of his directorial debut Attack the Block, but it seems that Joe Cornish is ready to get back behind the camera, with The Playlist revealing that he is set to helm The Kid Who Would Be King.

The site has uncovered an audition sheet for the project seeking boy and girl actors aged between 10 and 15, which describes the project as “a family fantasy action-adventure movie about a band of young kids embarking on an epic quest to thwart a Medieval menace.” It is slated to begin production this summer, with Working Title and Big Talk Pictures producing.
