James DeMonaco will be returning to write and direct his follow-up to this year’s averagely entertaining home invasion-type thriller ‘The Purge’. Universal and Blumhouse Pictures will once again get together to work on ‘The Purge 2’, which has previously been rumoured to be titled ‘The Zone’ and they’ve now set a 2014 release date. The sequel is being lined up for a 20 June 2014 release so will require a quick turnaround. Here’s hoping that the continuation will explore the 12-hour purge concept featured in the original more this time as opposed to simply focusing on some home invasion based thrills and questionable morals.
There are currently no specific details regarding the plot but as the release is now only 7 months away we’re sure it won’t be too long before this will be revealed.
