Directed by Everardo Gout (Days of Grace) and written by James DeMonaco (the creator of The Purge franchise), the latest installment The Forever Purge shows what can happen when one night of mayhem and murder is no longer enough. When a rogue group of masked purgers decides not to end the annual Purge at daybreak and instead shows up on a Texas ranch, the family there, along with a Mexican couple, find themselves having to band together and fight back, if they have any chance at survival. The film stars Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, Cassidy Freeman, Leven Rambin, Alejandro Edda, and Will Patton.
During this virtual 1-on-1 interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, Gout talked about the boldness and vision that drew him to the fifth film in the Purge series, the level of collaboration he had with DeMonaco to make it more authentic, the fine-tuning of the editing process, the challenges of the budget, how his work in episodic television has influenced him as a filmmaker, creating the Purge looks, and why his daughter is the Northern Star that guides him.
