The Purge Sequel Announced - The Purge: Anarchy

Universal Pictures has released the first poster and images for writer/director James DeMonaco's horror thriller “The Purge: Anarchy,” the sequel to last year's surprise hit “The Purge.”

The follow-up continues the plot device from the first film in which all crimes are legal on one day of the year, during the annual “Purge”, which preserves peace and prosperity for the other 364 days of the year. This time, instead of another home invasion, the sequel will be going beyond the confines of a shelter and watching characters struggle to survive the night.

First Look at Anthony Mackie as the Falcon for Captain America: The Winter Soldier

There's an obvious lack of red in what actor Anthony Mackie is wearing as he joins production for Marvel Studios' Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

In the new movie he plays Sam Wilson, a SHIELD agent who will help out Chris Evan's Captain America as he battles baddies like Georges St. Pierre's Batroc and Frank Grillo's Crossbones.

To celebrate the announcement that production has officially begun for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, here's a new photo featuring Chris Evans as Steve Rogers aka Captain America.

Here's what Marvel Studios had to say:

Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios’ release, “Marvel’s The Avengers,” production on the highly anticipated release, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” has commenced in Los Angeles, California, with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C. Directing the film is the team of Anthony and Joe Russo (“Welcome to Collinwood”) from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus (“Captain America: The First Avenger”) & Stephen McFeely (“Captain America: The First Avenger”). “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” returns Chris Evans (“Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Marvel’s The Avengers”) as the iconic super hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” “Iron Man 2”) as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” “Iron Man 2”) as Nick Fury. In addition, film icon Robert Redford has joined the all-star cast as Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is set for release in the U.S. on April 4, 2014.

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will pick-up where “Marvel’s The Avengers” left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.
