LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - David R. Ellis has signed to direct and develop "Final Destination 4," the latest installment of New Line's popular horror series, which the studio plans to shoot in 3-D.

The premise of the series is that even if you cheat death once, a force that is death itself will stalk you until it finishes what is started, usually in a gruesome fashion. While plot details for "FD4" are being kept under wraps, the movie will stand alone: It will feature new teens facing new forms of death.

The script was written by Eric Bress, who co-wrote "Final Destination 2."

Ellis directed the second installment, which was praised for its elaborately orchestrated killings.

The "Final Destination" films have been solid performers for New Line since they debuted in 2000. The first film grossed $53.3 million, the 2003 sequel made $46.5 million and the third, released in 2006, collected $54 million. The movies usually are made for at least half that and do well on home video.

Ellis' credits include "Cellular" and "Snakes on a Plane."

pt. 3 was beyond tired and lacked the character development the other movies did. Every freaking character in it was just a plot device to die in some way, the first movie made you actually care for the characters before bad things happened to them.

They topped themeselves with the second movie, the third should never have been made. I didn't like it at all.

I agree; They did top themselves with the second movie. The third one was lame.
