THE PURGE WILL COME TO TV
Posted: 030917

Not Sure How the Narrative Will be Structured

The Purge franchise will become a TV series according to writer/director James DeMonaco. According to him, “They came to me about a TV show; my idea is that you do six or seven storylines. And I would kind of intercut them, use flashbacks. The idea of why I like the idea of a maybe 10 hour TV thing on this, the one thing you really can’t do on the films is, just because of mere real estate and time, is you can’t get into the nuance and complexity that would drive someone to commit a terrible act on this night. What might be interesting in a TV show is with a flashback narrative, if you start on Purge Night, but you go back to show how people have gotten to where they are. Where you see a couple that’s gone haywire on this night, but let’s show everything that’s led up to this moment of a husband trying to kill a wife – the cheating, or the accusations of cheating, or money problems. It will be interesting to show those arcs, those dramatic and complex arcs that get people to where they pick up a gun or a knife and kill someone else. I think there’s something cool that we can do with the real estate of TV – 10 hours, potentially.” That will not be happening anytime soon, however, since Platinum Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form want to keep the films going even though the story seemed to have been over after the third film. If there is a fourth film DeMonaco says he isn’t interested in coming back.
