The original Purge was released last year and starred Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey. Produced for just $3 million, the thriller went on to earn more than $87 million worldwide.
Specific plot details are under wraps, except to say that it will be set in the same world as the first pic--where all crime is legalized for a 12-hour period. This film changes the action from an upper class suburban home invasion to a young couple trying to escape mob violence on the streets of Los Angeles.
Frank Grillo stars as a vigilante played by who is seeking revenge for the death of a family member. Boardwalk Empire's Michael K. Williams Zach Gilford ("Friday Night Lights"--the TV series), Carmen Ejogo Zoe Soul and Kiele Sanchez also star.
James DeMonaco is back writing and directing the sequel.
Jason Blum Michael Bay and Sebastien Lemercier are also returning to produce the movie.
The sequel is set for release on June 18th, 2014.
I finally took time to watch the first film a few weeks ago and enjoyed it quite a lot--The sequel looks even more intense
