Universal
Pictures has released the first trailer for third entry in The Purge franchise,
Election Year. In the movie Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) now serves as the head of
security for aspiring president Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), who
he must protect when a betrayal forces them out onto the streets during Purge
Night.
Directed
by James DeMonaco, the writer and director behind the previous two
installments, The Purge and The Purge: Anarchy, The Purge: Election Year also
stars Mykelti Williamson, Raymond J. Barry, Edwin Hodge, Terry Serpico, David
Aaron Baker, and Christopher James Baker.
The Purge:
Election Year opens on July 4th.
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).
