Final destination reboot on the way!

Tindie

I loved the Final destination movies
I'm really surprised with this news

I've been dying to see another Final destination movie.

It's another reboot/remake but on the other hand it's another Final Destination movie

************************************



Teased exclusively in this report here on Bloody Disgusting, THR confirms that New Line Cinema is, in fact, rebooting the Final Destination franchise that began in 2000 with the James Wong-directed thriller in which Devon Sawa has a terrifying vision of him and his friends dying in a plane crash. Having prevented the accident, Death hunts them down, one by one. Steven Quale directed the previous installment, 2011’s Final Destination 5.

Plot details for the sixth installment, which is being billed as a re-imagining of the franchise, were not revealed.

As the site notes, Melton and Dunstan are horror vets best known for penning four of the Saw movies. They were winners on season three of Project Greenlight and also wrote Piranha 3DD. The penned the upcoming Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark for CBS Films and are working with horror producers Platinum Dunes on an untitled Christmas horror project set up at Sony and The Reckoning at Paramount.

They were all fairly decent flicks really, I enjoyed Final Destination 5, though thought 'The Final Destination' was pretty OK schlock as well despite the critical scathing. The actual 3D was very good, one of the better movies in that format that was shot natively in 3D.

Must re-watch all of them soon. I think the second one is probably the most iconic with that brutal highway scene!

Only ever cared for the first one.

But I do wish they'd stop remaking things that were only made a few bleedin years ago.

With some of the real life bizarre deaths that have occurred in the last year or so, they could actually base Final Destination on a true story

They were incredibly stupid but I always enjoyed the central gimmick and how that would be played out in intricate little set-pieces resulting in death, so I'd happily watch another one.

Mr E

The last one was a very clever way of going full circle with the first, so a reboot is a good idea.

The only thing that worries me is that this is being billed as a reboot by the writers of some of the Saw movies. The problem is that it's the terrible later Saw movies (not the original trilogy). If it was Leigh Whannell and James Wan behind the reboot, I'd have more confidence.

If I was being picky (and yes I know this franchise is hardly realistic), the events of the 5th film never get referenced in the 1st 4 films despite them being the true originals. Parts 2, 3 and 4 always talk about the plane crash survivors

Seen one, seen them all with this series so could care less about a reboot. The film was a pretty ingenious gimmick that put a good spin on the slasher format, but yeesh they ground that formula into the dirt

Love this franchise.

Evil Dead would like a word.

As with the Saw franchise, it became more about the deaths/setups than the story.

I really liked the first one but wasn't a fan of the second. 3 and 4 were grand
