Final Destination 6 Directors Die to Pitch Their Own Film

Towards the beginning of the yr, information broke that New Line Cinema was aiming to convey again the Final Destination franchise with a brand new installment, because it’s been over a decade for the reason that fifth movie. After a lot looking out, the movie has lastly discovered its administrators in Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein. The duo are chargeable for the 2018 movie Freaks, which you will recall that we actually favored, they usually acquired the job for the brand new Final Destination flick by having a second that in all probability wouldn’t be misplaced in one of many movies.

See, the pair have been already within the operating to get the job after they had a closing Zoom assembly with New Line’s producers and execs, the place they gave their pitch for the movie. Behind them was a burning fire, and in direction of the tip of the decision, the hearth started to unfold. Stein and Lipovsky rapidly extinguished it…after which one in every of them acquired decapitated, because of prerecorded footage and digital results. Cue reported guffaws of laughter from producers, and the administrators having made very clear that they’re the best folks for the job.

The new movie, set to launch on HBO Max, will retain the core idea of the franchise: a random particular person in a gaggle of individuals fated to die will get a premonition that they use to assist them and their pals cheat loss of life. From that time, the universe proceeds to bend itself backwards to make sure that the people in query get acquired, typically in fairly horrifying methods. (The bus, proper? The bus.) After the first Final Destination launched in 2000 and earned $112 million, the franchise continued all through the last decade and the early 2010s, collectively incomes $666.7 million.

With how a lot enjoyable horror films have been the previous couple of years, Final Destination 6 couldn’t be coming at a greater time. Hopefully the lengthy resting interval has given the writers time to assume up some new, enjoyable methods to kill folks for 90 minutes.
