'The First Purge' Debuts Trump Campaign-Style Teaser

As stock-photo-looking images of a baseball team, a stadium standing for the national anthem, a tractor and the Statue of Liberty fill the screen, the narrator continues, "There's only one solution to keep our country great. A new tradition. Participate today and nothing will make you prouder than when your boy looks up at you and says, 'Dad, I want to purge, too.'"

Finally, the teaser shows a red baseball cap in the style of Trump's "Make America Great Again" merch emblazoned with the title of the fourth film.

The Purge series takes place in a near future in which America allows a 12-hour period in which all criminal acts, including homicide, are legal. The first film, released in 2013, grosses $64.4 million on a $3 million budget. Since then, sequels The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year were released in 2014 and 2016, respectively. The First Purge will be a prequel story setting up how the Purge came to be.

The First Purge will bring back original writer-director James DeMonaco as a writer, and will be directed by The Burning Sands helmer Gerard McMurray. Blumhouse Productions and Platinum Dunes are producing, with Universal Pictures distributing.
