'First Purge' director on its Donald Trump moment
Director Gerard McMurray says his film First Purge is about making fun of things that make news, including US President Donald Trump's infamous 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape. The film caused a stir in January when it debuted a campaign-style teaser that borrowed from Trump's Make America Great slogan.
There is a scene that calls back to Trump's infamous tape in which he bragged about grabbing women "by the p***y".
Protagonist Nya (essayed by Lex Scott Davis) is attacked by a masked man who grabs her crotch, and when she successfully fights him off, she calls him a "p***y-grabbing motherf***er".
"It was making fun of what's in the news. It was real -- and Nya, played by Lex, is a very strong character," hollywoodreporter.
McMurray, who directed First Purge from a script by series creator James DeMonaco, added, "It's about women fighting back."

Lasse Hallstrom, Joe Johnston to share directing credit for 'Nutcracker'
Lasse Hallstrom and Joe Johnston will have a shared directing credit on Disney’s upcoming film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
The helmers will be listed on the same title card for The Nutcracker, which stars Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, and Misty Copeland, and Mackenzie Foy, reports variety.com.
Hallstrom was the first director on the movie. Johnston was hired for a month of re-shoots, requiring extensive special effects, when Hallstrom was not available to film the additional footage.
Typically, under the Directors Guild of America's rules, only one filmmaker can be credited with directing a film. That was the case on Bohemian Rhapsody, in which Bryan Singer was given the credit, even though he was fired in the latter stages of shooting and replaced by Dexter Fletcher.
That rule can be waived to allow two directors to be credited when filmmakers have a history of working together or share a common vision, such as the case with the brother teams of Joel and Ethan Coen and Joe and Anthony Russo.
In the case of The Nutcracker, Hallstrom offered to share the "directed by" credit with Johnson, who accepted. Disney agreed to list both as director.
