New "Final Destination 5" Trailer
ShoWest '10: Thought The Final Destination Was the End?
Source: Shock Till You Drop March 18, 2010 As we've hinted at in previous news items here on Shock, The Final Destination is not the final chapter in the series. Today, at ShoWest in Las Vegas, Shock contributor Ed Douglas sat in on Warner Bros.' The Big Picture presentation during which the studio's Alan Horn confirmed a fifth Final Destination film is in the works. Each film in the series continues to be a financial success for the company. The Final Destination, which hit theaters last year in 3D, grossed $66 million domestically but made $180 million worldwide. The last entry's title sounded so definitive so we're curious to hear what they'll call the next film... http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news...s.php?id=14535 |

Producer's Update on Final Destination 5...
Source: Ryan Rotten, Managing Editor March 21, 2010 Earlier in the week, at the annual ShoWest industry event in Las Vegas, Warner Bros.' Alan Horn revealed plans for a fifth Final Destination. What we wanted to know is: How far along in development is it? For the answer, Shock reached out to producer Craig Perry who has been on board the franchise from the beginning. "If we find the right storyline – and we're working on it – then we'll take the lessons we learned from "The Final Destination" and make the necessary improvements to deliver what audiences expect from this franchise, going back to the original. What I know for sure is that it will be in 3D and deliver inventive, suspenseful, fun kills. That I can promise!" Perry told us. So there's your first word on the sequel being in 3D - these days that's a given, however. As each Final Destination has opened three years after the last installment, one could presume FD5 will hit in 2012. More details as they come in! http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news...s.php?id=14556 |

The last one was really good. The way the people died was different and the story moved along well it didn't drag like the 3rd one did.

Elm Street / The Thing Writer Tackling Fifth Destination!
Monday, April 26, 2010 By: MrDisgusting Writer Eric Heisserer is destined for some big things as he's literally exploded into the horrorverse. First he penned a rewrite of New Line Cinema's A Nightmare on Elm Street redo (arriving in theaters this Friday), then he tackled a prequel to John Carpenter's classic The Thing (now filming for release in 2011), now he's set his sights on a new destination: Final Destination 5. The article over at the Hollywood Reporter states that New Line, hoping to stave off a mummifying franchise, is trying to break out of the repetition of the first four movies and believes that Heisserer is part of the solution. How he'll do so is being kept under lock and key, although one scene involves a character undergoing laser-eye surgery. The "Destination" movies, which center on the idea that one can't cheat death, usually begin with a group of people who survive a catastrophe because of the intervention of one person who has a premonition. Death, however, will have its due, and the survivors end up expiring in elaborate Rube Goldberg-like fashion. The movies, produced by Craig Perry, have consistently been profitable for New Line because they tend to be made with modest budgets and generate solid returns, usually in the mid-$50 million range domestically. The company thought the fourth installment, released last year in 3D, was going to be the last one because it was a tough production that faced reshoots -- and received a critical drubbing. However, when it grossed $66 million domestically and was a big success overseas, it was only a matter of time before another one came along. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/19957 |

iF: Eric, you’re doing FINAL DESTINATION 5?
HEISSERER: It will be out next year. That’s the plan. We’re going to go back to what made the original work and build from there. We’re going to make sure we’re creating good suspense horror movie that happens to be a FINAL DESTINATION movie. That’s not to say it’s not going to have the hallmarks of what we’ve come to love about the franchise. We learned a lot of lessons from the fourth movie, and we want to show we’ve grown from that. I also want to show what a love about the franchise, and most of what I loved about it, is all in the first one. iF: It’s 3-D. HEISSERER: I think so. http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=3806 |

New Line Closing In: Potential Final Destination 5 Directors
Thursday, May 27, 2010 By: MrDisgusting Now that a August 26, 2011 date has been announced, New Line Cinema is moving extremely quick on Final Destination 5. With a script near completion (Eric Heisserer is doing rewrites from the set of The Thing), the studio is quickly looking to lock down a director for the 3-D sequel to the $200m worldwide hit The Final Destination. With an announcement expected by the end of next week, there are three names in the mix to bring Death back to the big screen. The fifth film will also be in 3D, and we hear that the three leading candidates to helm it are all first-time directors, but with considerable expertise in 3D and special effects, writes Vulture. Steve Quale - a second unit and visual effects director on Avatar. Bradley Parker - a commercials director and second unit/visual effects director on Matt Reeves' (Cloverfield) forthcoming film Let Me In. Charles Gibson - the second unit/visual effects director on the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. New Line Cinema is looking to "revive" the franchise and put a new spin on it. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/20387 |

I look forward to it, but I think studios are getting a bit too carried away with doing everything in 3D. Yeah, it's cool to see a couple times, but it's a concept that eventually gets tired.

Final Destination 5 Has a Director
Source: Variety June 8, 2010 Steven Quale is staring death in the eye. He's just signed to sit in the director's chair on Final Destination 5. Eric Heissere penned the script for the film which opens August 26, 2011. Quale comes from a visual effects background having worked on Avatar, Titanic and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. So, he's a James Cameron vet. FD 5 will be in 3D and the opening scene is said to take place on a suspension bridge. Heissere also teased that there will be a scene involving eye surgery. Shooting begins this September. http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news...s.php?id=15443 |
