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. The Purge: Anarchy (my review), released this past Summer starring Frank Grillo as a vigilante who is seeking revenge for the death of a family member--made $110 million.
The general concept remains the same - where all crime is legalized for a 12-hour period (including murder) and terrible things happen. What shape this the new film will take is unknown.
James DeMonaco who penned and directed the first two films and will write the third with the hope to direct.
Sebastien Lemercier, Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form will produce.
