Warner Bros Will Make Final Destination 5

Even though the fourth film in the Final Destination series was titled The Final Destination, and touted as the final film in the series, Warner Bros head Alan Horn revealed at ShoWest that they will be making a Final Destination 5, because “we can’t resist.”

Tony Todd Will Return for Final Destination 5



I distinctively remember Tony Todd being in the first “Final Destination” movie, then according to IMDB.com he showed up again in part three, but only as a voice character. His character is listed as “Devil”, but honestly, like most of the “Final Destination” movies, actors are secondary to the kills. Though I do recall that Mary Elizabeth Winstead was in part three, and even then she was already destined for better roles.

All that is to say that Todd himself has apparently confirmed that he will be returning for a third go-around in “Final Destination 5″, or as it’s being called, “5nal Destination”.

I shit you not. Some suit at the studio actually came up with that. “5nal Destination”. Yowsers.

In any case, part five will be directed by Steven Quale from a script by current “it” horror writer of the moment Eric Heissere (he’s penned remakes of “The Thing” and “A Nightmare on Elm Street”), and will star a bunch of cannon fodder — er, I mean, actors you’ve never heard of, including Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Meghan Ory, David Koechner, Miles Fisher and Arlen Escarpeta.

Okay, you might have heard of D’Agosto (below), who had a recurring role in a season of “Heroes” playing Claire’s flying boyfriend. The rest, though, were probably hired for a combination of good looks and cheap salary demands. I’m not saying they won’t have a whole lot to do, but you know, this is a “Final Destination” movie after all, so there ain’t a whole lot to do except get into position to be killed off one by one.

Part five is set for August 26th, 2011, and will be coming to you in — of course — 3D.

Emma Bell to Cheat Death, Flee Death, then Eventually Succumb to Death in Final Destination 5



Hey, it’s not like I’m telling you anything that you don’t already know, right? All the Final Girls/Boys in the “Final Destination” movies end up dead, just like everybody else in the film. In fact, I can only recall one character who has survived from one “Final Destination” movie to another, and that was Ali Larter’s from the original, though if I remember correctly, she bit it in the second one.

Since then, though, all the leads have fought Death until the very end, when they think they’ve survived, only to realize — nope, Death ain’t so easy to shake. After all, it’s not like he has an appointment at the dentist or anything that would keep him from coming back to, you know, kill your dumb mortal ass.

All that is to say that Emma Bell, last seen in Adam Green’s frozen-to-death movie “Frozen”, has been cast as the female lead aka the Final Girl in the upcoming “Final Destination 5″ movie.

Bell is the latest 20-something to join a cast of 20-somethings including P.J. Byrne, Tony Todd, David Koechner, Meghan Ory, Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Arlen Escarpeta and Miles Fisher. Props to you if you know more than one name on that list.

Steven Quale directs the 3D horror film, which is scheduled for 2011.
