CONGRATS to “Burning Sands” director Gerard McMurray! He will be taking the lead on the fourth installment in “The Purge” film franchise. According to S&A, the “Fruitvale Station” producer was “handpicked” by the franchise’s only other director—James DeMonaco.
“I have not seen a film as confidently directed in a long time as Burning Sands and I’m excited to see Gerard’s own expression of The Purge world,” said DeMonaco.
Details about the film have not been released and it’s not set to debut until July of 2018.
I had the pleasure of working with McMurray a few years back when he taught a film class at Clark Atlanta University. He was working on “Burning Sands” at that time and was super excited about his future post “Fruitvale Station.”
RC is so proud of what he is doing and will keep you posted.
