“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.
According to S&A, “The First Purge” is a prequel to the previous films and is being described as follows: To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation. “The First Purge” stars Y’Lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, Joivan Wade, Luna Lauren Velez and Marisa Tomei.
McMurray is best known for his work on “Burning Sands” and “Fruitvale Station.”
