The next film in the Purge franchise is set to be released on the 4th of July!  Hopefully, it’ll be more like the fantastic second film and nothing like the anemic third one.

(The third one does deserve some credit for allowing Kyle Secor to go totally over the top but all the stuff about Elizabeth Mitchell’s presidential campaign was sooooooooo boring!)

Apparently, The First Purge is going to be a prequel.  It’s going to show us how the Purge came to be, which sounds … well, to be honest, I’ve never really cared how the Purge came to be.  In fact, one reason the franchise worked is because they didn’t waste a lot of time explaining all the exact details about how the Purge came to be.  So, I’m not really sure if this is a good idea.

There’s a new director for this installment so it’ll probably suck but here’s the trailer anyway!
