‘The Purge 6’ Will Remap America Into States Based on Sexuality & Ideology
Whether you like The Purge film series or not, you can’t deny that the franchise makes a powerful social commentary about violence, legislation, and the lengths that modern society is willing to go to address its problems without actually fixing them. This is the core idea of every movie, and, in an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, director and screenwriter James DeMonaco made it clear that it’s about to get even more ominous with The Purge 6.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT During the interview, DeMonaco told Nemiroff that The Purge 6 will bring a “nightmarish version” of America to life. At the same time, it’s a version that echoes issues that are being presented today and absurd ideas we are forced to gulp down every time we turn on the news or go on social media. DeMonaco said:
“‘Purge 6’ is my way of looking at the country now. I grew up watching ‘Logan's Run’ and ‘Soylent Green’ and John Carpenter and George Romero, whose sociopolitical messaging was within the films. They were smuggling ideas into the film. So for me for 6, I was extrapolating on the discord and taking it to its furthest, as far as you can take that idea of what's going on, I feel, in the country and the political landscape. And it’s a broken America. We’re remapping.
“That's what Purge 6 is. It is this kind of broken America down in this remapping, and then they picked one state that purges still so that’s where it takes place.” The Purge 6 is currently in early development, with Frank Grillo expected to return to the franchise.
