Editing Joe Cornish (section)

===Film and TV===
Cornish has made a number of behind the scenes documentaries/video diaries. They include Cornish following the making of ''[[Little Britain (sketch show)|Little Britain]]'' series 2, which was screened on BBC Three and is included on the ''Little Britain'' Series 2 DVD; a video diary of his brief cameo as a zombie, which appears on the UK ''[[Shaun of the Dead]]'' DVD; and ''Hot Fuzz: The Fuzzball Rally'', where he followed his friends and collaborators, [[Edgar Wright]], [[Nick Frost]] and [[Simon Pegg]] on the US press tour for their film ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''. There have been two cuts of the ''Fuzzball Rally'': a 28-minute version was included on the ''Hot Fuzz'' [[HD DVD]] (UK/US) and a 71-minute version was included on both the 3-Disc Collectors Edition DVD (US) and the [[Blu-ray Disc]] (US/UK) of ''Fuzz''. The documentary caused the latter's certification to be changed from a [[15 (British Board of Film Classification)|15 certificate]] to an [[18 (British Board of Film Classification)|18 certificate]], due to the very strong language the documentary contains.

He made a brief appearance in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' as a white suited and bemasked Scenes-of-Crime Officer named "Bob". In 2017, he made a cameo in ''[[Star Wars: The Last Jedi]]'' alongside Wright, where both played Resistance fighters.<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/star-wars-last-jedi-cameo-edgar-wright-a8117931.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220609/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/star-wars-last-jedi-cameo-edgar-wright-a8117931.html |archive-date=9 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |work=The Independent | date=19 December 2017 | access-date=2 January 2018 | title=Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Edgar Wright posts photo of cameo | first1=Jack | last1=Shepherd}}</ref>

In 2006, he was announced as co-writer on a [[Ant-Man (film)|feature film adaptation]] of the [[Marvel Comics]] comic book character ''[[Ant-Man]]'', with ''Shaun of the Dead'' director [[Edgar Wright]]. Both Wright and Cornish received story by and screenplay credit on the finished film, after Wright's departure from the project in 2014. Wright and Cornish also rewrote [[Steven Moffat]]'s script for ''[[The Adventures of Tintin (film)|The Adventures of Tintin]]'' co-starring [[Simon Pegg]], for [[Steven Spielberg]] and [[Peter Jackson]].<ref>{{Cite news| url=https://entertainment.time.com/2011/12/21/spielbergs-3-d-cartoon-adventure-its-tintinastic/ |publisher=Time | date=21 December 2011 | access-date=5 July 2012 | title=Spielberg's 3-D Cartoon Adventure: It's Tintinastic! | first1=Richard | last1=Corliss}}</ref> In November 2013, Cornish was tipped to be [[J.

Cornish has continued his work in television comedy, directing parts of the pilot of ''[[Modern Toss]]'', and the pilot to Channel 4's ''[[Blunder (TV series)|Blunder]]''. According to an interview in ''[[Word Magazine]]'', he pulled out of directing the series of ''Blunder'' due to creative differences with Channel 4 and the production company. In early 2007, he directed the video for [[Charlotte Hatherley]]'s single "I Want You to Know".

'''Attack the Block'''

On 13 May 2011, [[StudioCanal UK|Optimum Releasing]] released ''[[Attack the Block]]'', Cornish's directorial debut, which had his friend and collaborator, [[Edgar Wright]], working as executive producer, and was produced by [[Film4 Productions|Film4]], [[Big Talk Productions|Big Talk Pictures]], the [[UK Film Council]] and Optimum's French parent company [[StudioCanal]] (which would later rebrand Optimum under their name four months after the film's British release). The film is a [[science fiction]] [[action film|action]] [[comedy horror|horror comedy]] set in South London that pitches a gang of youths against an alien invasion.
