First film had such a great concept and such a lousy execution. Not looking forward to this sequel, but I like Frank Grillo so maybe I'll give it a shot?

Seriously, sometimes it seems like every lower budgeted genre movie from the last few years is getting a sequel.

Except the one that actually deserves to:

I loved Dredd. Wish we would get a sequel.

 

[Ant-manic]

why? they covered it all in the first one. they need to take a cue from Aesop. there weren't many sequels to his stories. they made their point and moved on.

 

[Wolfwood]

There's a lot of potential in exploring a concept like The Purge, hopefully this guy will delve more into that world.

I was thinking Trick 'R Treat but then I remembered it is getting a sequel! t:

Speaking of, if Purge 2 does get made, I want to see something like T'RT where we have 3 or 4 stories interconnected on Purge night. If they really have to have another home invasion story, it can be one segment, but maybe the home owner is the star of a prior segment and pisses off a group, which then we switch to their POV for the next segment.

Keith Stanfield joins the cast.

They seriously need to give this movie a subtitle.

The Purge 2: Repurgitated

 

[Warhammer]

Why the f*** is this getting a sequel? The original had so much potential. It made me upset.

 

[Wolfwood]

Cause it made fat stacks of cash, yo! And a sequel is likely to make decent money especially if it's made on the cheap like the first film was.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Ethan Hawke has had such a strange career trajectory. He made one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2014, Before Midnight, and two absolute turds (Purge and Getaway).

 

[Wolfwood]

He seems to do okay. Every year he has one or two great films and then he pads out his paycheck with a bunch of throwaway projects. Gotta pay for that private island somehow. His career is similar to Aaron Eckhart in that sense.

All bout dat $$$

 

[MrMaooz]

Well, it might not make all that much $$$$. It's jam packed and there are other movies that will look better. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the GA liked The Purge that much.

 

[jacobed]

It was alright. It's the concept which is why I'm excited for a sequel

I work on a horror website and the general reaction towards the film is mixed. People are pretty divided about it. So if half the audience liked the first one and a portion of the audience that hated it is willing to give it another chance, it stands to make some money.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

It had such a great concept, but had such a poor execution.

 

[Alchemyst]

It had such a great concept, but had such a poor execution.

I agree, the concept was pretty good, but the overall film IMO seemed pretty meh. It was almost predictable, lets hope the sequel manages to fix that.

Weird, I thought Frank Grillo was the main guy, but he's barely in the trailer.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

This trailer made me laugh, literally it looks horrible.

 

[Daywalker89]

Well in the trailer it seems they experience the purge in a open city instead of the house , more scope is a good thing i guess. Don't know why they would be on a damn road trip hours before the purge lol As some people have said the concept is great , the execution is average , why dont the damn filmcrew look at Escape from new york and Assault on precinct 13 (1976) thats what there trying to mimic anyway .

 

[Octoberist]

This trailer made me laugh, literally it looks horrible.

The trailer needed a wideshot of the city in peril. Instead, it looks like there's only 3 people rioting in LA.

Then again, this was a fast shoot and maybe a shot like that wasn't ready.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I absolutely love the concept of this film and of the first film, but after how bad the first one was (and that one had at least a name in it) I doubt this one will be much better, but I guess we'll see.
