Final Destination 5 is an upcoming 3D supernatural-horror film written by Eric Heisserer and directed by Steven Quale. Final Destination 5 is the fifth installment to the Final Destination film franchise, which will star Nicholas D'Agosto and Emma Bell. Tony Todd will also return from the first two installments in the series.[2]

Plot

Sam Lawton (Nicholas D'Agosto) has a premonition about the bridge he is on collapsing, killing him and many around him. As the vision becomes reality, Sam manages to save himself and a few others. However, Sam and his girlfriend Molly (Emma Bell), discover that Death is still after them and the ones who survived the gruesome accident.[3]

Development

After the success of The Final Destination, which was thought to be last in the series, the head of Warner Bros., Alan Horn, had confirmed a fifth Final Destination film is in works at ShoWest.[4] Producer Craig Perry later added that the film will be shot in 3D.[5] The screenplay was written by Eric Heisserer, whom New Line hopes will break the repetition of the series.[6] The studio has picked August 26, 2011 as the release date.[7] Steven Quale, who worked alongside James Cameron, is the director and shooting will begin in September in Vancouver, like the first three films.[8]

Casting

In August 2010, actor and musician Miles Fisher was the first to be cast in the upcoming horror. Fisher's rep confirmed "Miles has gotten a real movie job. Fisher is the first actor cast in Final Destination 5, the Steven Quale-directed horror film that is casting up at New Line Cinema. These are the pics where a group of characters narrowly escape death in a gruesome catastrophe, and then most of them get bumped off one by one in grisly fashion."[9] Three days after Fisher's participation in the film, Arlen Escarpeta, who starred in the Friday the 13th remake, was announced that he was the next to join the franchise. Escarpeta later revealed, "I think what they're going to do really, really well this time around, they're going to go back - the story, the plot, a lot of stuff is really going to matter," explained Escarpeta. "I think the last movie it was just death. It was death, death, death, which is fine because that's what people want to see. But this time we're going to give them a little bit of everything - good story, great director - it's going to be good."[10] In late August 2010 Nicholas D'Agosto, Ellen Wroe and Meghan Ory were reported to have joined the film, with D'Agosto.[11]

One day after the announcement of D'Agosto, Wore and Ory's participation, Tony Todd joined the cast.[12] Later on August 30, comedian and actor, David Koechner was reported to have joined the cast. Koechner later updated via Twitter, "Hi I've joined the cast of Final Destination 5. I know I am suppose to die, but how about this? I'm pretending this is a sequel to Inception." The following day, P.J. Byrne was also announced to have joined the cast.[13] On September 2, Emma Bell was said to be cast as the female lead; Molly Harper.[14] Later, in mid-September both The Bold and the Beautiful actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Law & Order: Criminal Intent star Courtney B. Vance were have said to joined the main cast.[15]

Filming

The opening scene will be filmed on the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver.

Filming has been reset back to Vancouver, which is the location where the first three films were all shot. Shooting began in September 2010.[16] Heisserer also confirmed that "5nal Destination" was not the official title via Twitter. For now, it's just to be called "Final Destination 5", as well as stating the title has been changed dozens of times throughout production of the film. Producers have said that this installment will be darker (like the first film), as opposed to the almost comedic route that the 4th film took.[17] Final Destination 3 star Chelan Simmons revealed that the opening scene would be filmed on the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver.[18]
