FINAL DESTINATION 6 Isn’t a Reboot Or a Cash-Grab
The Final Destination franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. And to mark the occasion, series creator Jeffrey Reddick talked a bit about the upcoming sixth entry. Mainly that he thinks reboot is too strong of a word for the new movie which will not feel like a cash-grab.
Reddick tells Digital Spy: “I’ve been talking to Craig and the concept behind it is unique. I think reboot is probably too strong of a word, it makes it sound like they’re going to change everything, but it’s definitely a Final Destination movie. Craig is the master of coming up with crazy openings and set pieces. He’s told me a couple of things that happen in this one and it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s not going to feel like a cash-grab Final Destination film.”
Good to know!
This tease comes to us on the heels of series producer Craig Perry revealing the new film will center on EMTs, firefighters, and other first-responders, saying: “We’re toying with having it take place in the world of first responders: EMTs, firemen, and police. These people deal with death on the front lines every day and make choices that can cause people to live or die. We rely on their good judgment, expertise, and calm demeanor. So why not put those people in the nightmare situation where every choice can bring about life and death – but now for themselves? We’re thinking that world might be an interesting way into a Final Destination movie, and one which can also generate unique set pieces in a very credible way.”
