New Details on Final Destination 5
Deaths! Bridges! Numbers in odd places!

30 June 2010  |  Written by Owen Williams  |  Source: Bloody Disgusting


Following a long tradition, the title of the new fifth Final Destination movie will be a bit rubbish, according to Bloody Disgusting. Brace yourselves for 5nal Destination.

So do we have to actually pronounce that "fivenal"? That, at least, is a bit better than the "5inal" that some sites are reporting, which looks like "Sinal Destination", which sounds like a nasal decongestant. Since BD's is the exclusive, we're going with "5nal" being the correct variant.

Whatever, there's now also confirmation of the latest instalment's trademark opening disaster. We've previously had a plane crash, a freeway pile-up, a rollercoaster smash, and carnage at a NASCAR race. This time it'll be a suspension bridge collapse. The film is set in Bristol, and involves a gang of indie-loving teens on their way to the Ashton Court Festival, when one of them receives a doom-laden premonition from Isambard Kingdom Brunel.*

What's certain is that we will see kids picked off by an invisible force of death, in grimly inventive ways. It's a formula; why mess with it? The script is by Eric Hesserier (the new Thing and Nightmare on Elm Street) and the director is the James Cameron-approved Steven Quale (second unit on Avatar and Titanic). Shooting starts (in 3D of course) in September, for an August 2011 release.

*This is not true, but we wish it was.

Have I missed something here...?
I thought the whole point of calling the last one 'THE' Final Destination was so that they don't make anymore? (However, if was set in Bristol that would be awesome as 'Brizzle is the Shizzle') More

Can anyone say Mothman Prophecies?
Sounds pretty similar to me. And that film starred Richard Gere, who knows a thing or two about 5nal, if the hamster rumours are anything to go by. More

At least it wasn't "4nal"

I can't believe they've missed the most obvious way of dying: death by French baguette loaf. Seems reasonable compared to the 6001 ways of death they've tried so far. They should also have one of the female characters nag someone to death. More

RE: I've said it before, I'll say it again...
Surely 'Final De5tination" would have been better? Or at least, less shit. Each entry in the franchise becomes the new 'least accurately titled movie since The Neverending Story' (to paraphrase Lionel Hutz) More

The Well Is Dry!
You can only drink at the well so many times before it runs dry. The original was terrific, the second ok the third tried my patience the fourth................................................. ...well let’s just say it wasn't very good. HELL WILL FREEZE OVER before I spend my hard earned cash forking out £16 for two of us to go there, even the Orange Wednesday’s promotion won't entice me. Note to the producers. Leave it alone now! Perhaps someone can write a movie showing de More

Anal agreement
I agree with boove. I too thought it looked like 'Anal Destination'. Now that would be a film in the franchise worth watching! Picture the scene, the film opens with an orgy that goes horribly wrong...........nah, maybe not. Especially in 3D, that could get quite scary. Anyway, they've probably made it look like 'Anal' coz they expect it to produce the same shite that the last few had to offer. The original was a decent flick. It should have been left there. More

that looks very much like it says 'Anal Destination'. More
