Final Destination Continues
The Final Destination franchise has earned around $700 million worldwide, which is crazy to think about. It has not had a new entry since 2011, and this new film, Bloodlines, will be released in part to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original. Man, do I hope they change that title. It feels like there have been quite a few horror films subtitled Bloodlines over the years. For a whole generation of people, this is the biggest horror franchise around, as it filled the gap between the 90's slasher revival and the launch of torture porn from 2000-2005. Anyone who has ever driven on the highway behind a logging truck knows what I am talking about. Final Destination: Bloodlines is written by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick, with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.
It feels like a good idea to bring this one back. Story details are under those famous wraps that Hollywood uses, but these films are about people cheating death during a catastrophic event and then having to make a moral choice to save themselves. That can really resonate these days, maybe even more so than when the franchise started. Two years ago, this was going to be a Max exclusive, though I don't think that will be the case anymore. More on this one as we learn it.
