‘The First Purge’ Director Drew Inspiration From Real Life

This July we will witness The First Purge, from director Gerard McMurray. Recently he revealed that he found real-life inspiration that underscores the prequel’s theme of government’s abuse of power. Right now we’re living in a time where people are waking up and seeing how things really are and are needing to stand up and voice their opinion,” McMurray stated to Deadline. “As a filmmaker, showing those images and putting it out there gave me a voice to acknowledge what was going on and bring some awareness and spark dialogue about it.” He continued. “We see events that taking place in this country over the last year. I just try to use what was going on in the real world and trying to bring it into the film.

Today, we get a look at how the annual night of chaos and murder began in the film’s first trailer. “To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.

‘The First Purge’ Teaser Makes America Great Again

“Behind every tradition lies a revolution.” The Purge franchise continues this 4th of July with The First Purge, from director Gerard McMurray and screenwriter James DeMonaco, the franchise’s creator. Today, we get a look at how the annual night of chaos and murder began in the film’s first teaser trailer. We should also talk about the new poster that puts a new twist on Trump’s iconic red hat and slogan of “Make America Great Again” and replaces it with “The First Purge”. Political statement? Maybe, but I think it’s hilarious. “To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.
