Final Destinationturns 20 this month, officially making it older than most of the characters that get spectacularly killed off in the bloody horror franchise.
While there hasnt been a new installment since 2011sFinal Destination 5, it was announced last year that a sixth movie was in the works fromPatrick MeltonandMarcusDunstan, the writers behindThe Collectorseries andSaw IV,V,VIandSaw 3D.
In an interview withDigital Spy,Final DestinationproducerCraig Perryshed some light on the upcoming film, including plot details and a potential set piece.
“We’re toying with having it take place in the world of first responders: EMTs, firemen and police, Perry said.
These people deal with death on the front lines every day, and make choices that can cause people to live or die… We’re thinking that world might be an interesting way into aFinal Destinationmovie, and one which can also generate unique set pieces in a very credible way.”
In case youre not familiar, the set pieces are the linchpin of theFinal Destinationseries - bizarre chains of events that supernaturally escalate into mind-blowingly crazy fatal accidents.

Its a clever rig, and I can only imagine how much fun it is to sit and brainstorm each sequence.
Perry teased one we might wind up seeing inFinal Destination 6, saying, “I don’t think anybody will look at a revolving door in the same way again.”
Digital Spy also spoke to series creatorJeffery Reddick, who seems enthusiastic about the project and about Perrys continued involvement.
“Craig [Perry] is the master of coming up with crazy openings and set pieces, he said.
He’s told me a couple of things that happen in this one and it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
There’s no release date yet forFinal Destination 6, and we likely won’t hear anything soon as multiple productions keep suspending production during the coronavirus outbreak.
But I will be counting the days until I get to watch someone get improbably killed by a revolving door.
