The Purge 4 finds a director

July 21, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures have tapped Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) to direct the as-yet-untitled fourth entry in The Purge franchise.

Details on the fourth movie are being kept under wraps, but it will be based on a script by James DeMonaco, writer-director of The Purge and its sequels The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.

The Purge series has been hugely successful for Blumhouse and Universal, with the three instalments grossing $320 million from a combined budget of just $22 million. In addition to a fourth movie, a TV series is in development, which will explore non-Purge days.

The Purge 4 is set for release on July 4th, 2018.

Originally published July 21, 2017. Updated April 16, 2018.
