The Purge was one of last year’s surprise successes and so Universal was quick to get a sequel into production, which is due in cinemas this July. It didn’t start shooting that long ago but the first trailer has already arrived, which you can watch right here.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The New Founding Fathers of America invite you to celebrate the annual Purge. Returning alongside writer/director/producer James DeMonaco to produce the next chapter of the thriller are Blumhouse Productions Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity and Insidious series), alongside Sébastien K. Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13, Four Lovers) and Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay (Pain & Gain, Transformers franchise), Brad Fuller (The Amityville Horror, A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Andrew Form (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th).’
It’s currently out July 4th.
