Deadline reports that Betty Gabriel (Beyond Skyline), Edwin Hodge (pictured; As Above/So Below, The Purge), Kyle Secor, JJ Soria, Mykelti Williamson and Elizabeth Mitchell have joined the cast of Universal Pictures’ The Purge 3, the latest installment in the microbudget horror series that has been minting money for all parties.
The third pic will reveal the next chapter of the 12 hours of government-sanctioned anarchy in which murder is legal and nobody can help you if you’re stuck outside.
Writer-director James DeMonaco is back for a third go-round, and Frank Grillo already is set to return to star.
Universal has set a July 1 release date, and the movie is near a shooting start in Rhode Island.
The second film, The Purge: Anarchy, was an exhilarating throwback to 80’s action films. I’m excited to see what DeMonaco does this time around!
