'The Purge: Election Year' Almost Ended the Franchise on a Hopeful Note
Whenever you sit down to watch a Purge movie, there are two things you always know: There will be killing, and you’ll finish the screening with the sensation that a scenario like that is totally possible in real life. With The Purge 6 currently in early development, we can’t help but wonder: Is there any chance the franchise could wrap up on a positive note? Collider's Perri Nemiroff posed that precise question to Purge creator James DeMonaco.
“[The Purge: Election Year] ends with saving a very bad man. They don't kill the senator who's running for president, or the preacher I should say. They decide not to kill. So there's always this decision not to kill or to save. ‘3’ I thought was the original ending. Just do a trilogy and get out, where the Elizabeth Mitchell character becomes president, she gets rid of The Purge, and we're now in a hopeful America where The Purge is no longer.
DeMonaco and franchise producer Sébastien K. Lemercier also decided to keep crafting every installment of The Purge themselves, from storytelling to directing and beyond, because they “are very aware that in the wrong hands, we always felt The Purge can turn very exploitative, could turn into some kind of torture porn or without any political messaging.
