With production due to kick off in a few weeks time and only Frank Grillo attached to star, The Purge 2 needs a cast. Now it’s getting one as Michael K. Williams, Carmen Ejogo, Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez have all signed up to star.
No plot details have been revealed for the sequel, but it will likely have a similar setting to the first. The original was set in the neat future world where crime has almost been wiped out, except for a 12-hour period each year where absolutely everything is legal, including murder.
Michael K. Williams most recently appeared in drama Boardwalk Empire, while Carmen Ejogo starred in Salim Akil’s drama Sparkle. Zach Gilford is best known for his role in TV’s Friday Night Lights, while Kiele Sanchez has a role in David Twohy’s A Perfect Getaway.
James DeMonaco is directing from a script he also wrote. The film is due out June 20th, 2014.
