A New Film Is In The Works For THE PURGE Franchise

We recently reported that The Purge franchise is being developed into a television series. Today, we have more news on the film franchise. Have you ever wondered how The Purge began? The fourth film of the franchise will answer that. That’s right, we are getting a Purge prequel. We are going back to the very beginning to learn how the deadly, lawless night began. Franchise creator James DeMonaco had this to say about the prequel: I would actually go back and I would try to talk about how it all started. That seems the natural next chapter in this, is to say, ‘Alright, we’ve done this trilogy. We see how it got to this point of someone trying to end it – this presidential figure. Now let’s go back and see how the fuck all this came about.’ How did this country get to a place where we were now accepting this kind of atrocity, this terrible thing, each year?

The Purge Getting A Television Series

‘The Purge: Election Year‘ has just arrived on VOD and will be out on DVD on October 4th. We may soon see more of ‘The Purge’ in a different media. News has now come that the franchise will soon be adapted for a television series. There’s more good news, the franchise’s creator, writer and director, James DeMonaco, will be along for the ride. In an interview with CinemaBlend, DeMonaco explained the new series. Yes! Not an anthology…I guess kind of an anthology – more of an interwoven anthology. They came to me about a TV show, my idea is that you do six or seven storylines. And I wold intercut them, use flashbacks.” DeMonaco continued on to elaborate on his ideas for the series. The idea of why I like the idea of a maybe 10 hour TV thing on this, the one thing you really can’t do on the films is, just because of mere real estate and time,

The New TV Spot For The Purge: Election Year Urges You To Keep America Great

The new TV spot for The Purge: Election Year fits in perfectly with current political race, so much so that it could easily be mistaken for a real PSA like the ones we are currently being bombarded with. The Purge: Election Year picks up two years after the events of The Purge: Anarchy. Frank Grillo will reprise his role as Leo Barnes. Barnes now serves as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell). Barnes’ mission is to protect Senator Roan during her run for president, as well as to keep her safe during the annual Purge. When the two are betrayed and forced onto the streets of Washington D.C. on the night on the Purge, they must fight to stay alive until dawn or meet the same fate as those less fortunate. Universal’s Election Year is under the control of director James DeMonaco. Blumhouse Productions (Insidious) will produce along side Platinum Dunes (Friday the 13th) once again. Be
