Work on another 'Final Destination' movie is currently underway
The seventh installment of the popular "Final Destination" series is set to make a comeback, aiming to surpass the success of its predecessor, "Final Destination Bloodlines." According to reports, the upcoming film is planned by New Line Cinema and will be written by Lori Evans Taylor, who co-wrote the recent "Final Destination" rebootquel.
The new film, titled "Final Destination Bloodlines" (2025), centers around a high-rise restaurant tower called the Skyview in Cloverdale, New York. In 1969, the tower was almost the site of a deadly collapse, but a premonition prevented the disaster. However, Death's design remains in play, targeting the survivors of that event and their descendants in a deadly, inescapable chain of fatal accidents.
The potential death traps in this new film reflect elaborate, grisly accidents echoing the near-collapse and the theme of inescapable death. These include a catastrophic chain reaction of accidents linked to structural failure or environment-based hazards, similar to the high-rise tower threat. The film also features set pieces involving various fatal accidents affecting the cursed descendants, consistent with the franchise’s tradition of intricate and creative death sequences.
One example of a death trap in the film is Iris Campbell's death, where she is impaled by a weather vane, demonstrating the brutal and unusual methods of death the series is known for. While specific new death traps beyond the weather vane incident and general chain reaction themes are not detailed, the film emphasizes ingeniously executed grisly set pieces and outrageous death scenarios that mark the franchise’s style. Reviews suggest the film includes multiple complex and violent deaths as Death targets the intertwined family lines of the survivors.
"Final Destination Bloodlines" grossed $286 million at its global box office, with critics praising Tony Todd's performance in the film, who played Death's herald. The film was co-written by Guy Busick, with Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein directing. Future developments for the DC Universe on film and TV are yet to be revealed.
As for the Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek universes, upcoming releases are to be expected. However, information about the future of Doctor Who is available. The domestic tally for "Final Destination Bloodlines" was $138.1 million.
In sum, the new "Final Destination" film focuses on the legacy of a near-collapse of the Skyview high-rise tower and presents death traps centered on catastrophic structural accidents and inventive, lethal scenarios targeting the descendants of survivors, continuing the franchise’s hallmark inventive and grisly fatalities.
