Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'gorilla-wolf motherfuckers' were played by stuntmen in suits with LED teeth, designed to look invisible against London's light-polluted night sky.
Cornish wrote the script after actually being mugged in South London; he interviewed his attackers at a youth center and built Moses from their contradictions.
