A new iteration of the Final Destination movie franchise has been in the works for quite some time. Now some exciting news about Final Destination 6 has just dropped. It looks like the film is scheduled to hit production as soon as the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes end.
The strikes have certainly placed Hollywood into a difficult place. Many productions are being delayed either for being unfinished or because actors involved cannot market them. As such, it’s understandable that Final Destination 6 is now one such project that will have to wait until the strikes end. As shared via creator Jeffrey Reddick with Collider, however, it’ll be worth it.
Here’s what he shared about the next installment of the Final Destination franchise:
“There is a sixth one that’s planned the minute, again, the AMPTP comes back to the table,” he says, “that movie is ready to go.”
He continues:
“It’s just nice as a genre fan to have something created that has become a part of the public zeitgeist,” says Reddick. “Again, I couldn’t have asked for more. We’re gonna get a winner, and also, I spoke to Guy Busick; he did the Scream reboot, and [Lori] is his writing partner, and they were so gracious because they actually – I’m friends with Craig Perry to this day. We’re really tight. [He] produced it, and he’s like, ‘They called me.’ They wanted to talk to me about the first film and the second film, about what my thoughts were on what makes a Final Destination film – kind of the key elements that are crucial to me.”
Reddick adds just how passionate everyone involved with the project is:
“It’s just really nice because you don’t get that a lot. I’m friends with Eric Bress, who wrote part two. You become friends a lot of times with people just crossing paths, and Eric Heisserer, who wrote part five, is amazing. But it’s nice when the filmmakers actually call you and are like, ‘We wanna make sure that we get the essence of what’s important to you and what you think makes these Final Destinations, what you found connects with the fans.’ So, they have gone into the story with the best heart.”
As such, we should have more official details once the strikes come to an end. For now, though, this is an exciting update and fans will no doubt be excited to see what everyone has cooked up for Final Destination 6. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Final Destination news as we have it.
