From writer/director James DeMonaco (creator of The Purge franchise), This is the Night is set in the summer of 1982 in Staten Island and follows a teenager Anthony (Lucius Hoyos) as he sets out on an adventure that he, his Italian-American family, and his best friends will never forget. Kicking things off at a highly anticipated showing of the brand new blockbuster Rocky III, their night is faced with a series of challenges that will lead to triumphs and tribulations all inspired by their movie-going experience.

During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, DeMonaco talked about wanting to explore his love of the movie-going experience, how this story evolved, whether he’d ever considered focusing on any other movie, assembling the young cast, why he wanted Frank Grillo and Naomi Watts to play the parents, and what he’s most proud of with the film. He also talked about having already written Purge 6, even though he really thought he was done with the franchise, bringing back the character of Leo Barnes (played by Grillo), and how optimistic he is that it will get greenlit, as well as the next movie he’s focused on, a horror film that he’s hoping to have Pete Davidson lead.
