Fans of The Purge franchise have a lot to look forward to. It was recently revealed that Frank Grillo is lined up to reprise his role as Sergeant Leo Barnes in The Purge 3, and in a recent interview with Collider, Grillo discussed the upcoming third entry in the franchise.
Grillo told Collider that he is indeed moving forward with The Purge 3, which will once again be directed and written by James DeMonaco and is slated for a July 1st, 2016 release from Universal. Shooting on the film is expected to begin in September, and Grillo shed some light on the plot details:
“You get to see where he came from, his origin, how this has affected him, and what he does to make some changes about it. He was involved in law enforcement at a high level, and he gets involved with somebody else who’s also politically charged, and they go after the system. It’s really interesting. It’s like a really good old school B-movie, like Death Wish, or one of those Clint Eastwood westerns. It’s that kind of thing.”
Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates on The Purge 3. In the meantime, what do you hope to see in the second sequel?
