Universal Pictures has
released a new trailer for James DeMonaco's next installment in The Purge
franchise, Election Year. In the film Frank Grillo's Leo Barnes now serves as
the head of security to Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), who he must
protect when a betrayal forces them out onto the streets during Purge Night.
Opening in theaters on July 4,
The Purge: Election Year also stars Mykelti Williamson, Raymond J. Barry, Edwin
Hodge, Terry Serpico, David Aaron Baker, and Christopher James Baker.
Expanding the universe introduced in the hit
franchise that electrified the culture and earned $200 million at the worldwide
box office, Universal Pictures’ The Purge: Election Year reveals the next
terrifying chapter that occurs over 12 hours of annual lawlessness sanctioned
by the New Founders of America to keep this country great.
It’s been two years since Leo Barnes (Frank
Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now
serving as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), his
mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual
that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the
streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay
alive until dawn…or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state.
Once again returning to collaborate with
franchise creator James DeMonaco on The Purge: Election Year are the series’
producers: Blumhouse Productions’ Jason Blum (Insidious and Ouija series, The
Visit), Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form
(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ouija series, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre),
and writer/director DeMonaco’s longtime production partner, Sébastien K.
Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13, Four Lovers).
