Cornish made his feature directorial debut on Attack The Block and has written for The Adventures of Tin Tin and teamed with Edgar Wright writing the upcoming film Ant-Man for Marvel Studios. Cornish is also working with Paramount on the adaptation of the novel Snow Crash.

Cornish also directed episodes of TV's Blunder, Comedy Lab, The Adam and Joe Show (which he also wrote), as well as the TV movie documentary Making 'Little Britain' Too.

Though JJ Abrams may not direct the next STAR TREK, he will at least serve as producer. Abrams' second TREK film, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, featured cast members Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho and Benedict Cumberbatch.
