Final Destination 6 has been inching forward over the past several months, and the last bit of news we had on the project was that Freaks directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein were brought on board to helm the film from a script written by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick.Franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick recently offered an update on the project, and he says it’s pretty much ready to go as soon as the strikes end. When talking about the franchise with Collider and the talent he’s teamed up with, he said:”There is a sixth one that’s planned the minute, again, the AMPTP comes back to the table, that movie is ready to go. It’s just nice as a genre fan to have something created that has become a part of the public zeitgeist. Again, I couldn’t have asked for more. We’re gonna get a winner, and also I spoke to Guy Busick, he did the Scream reboot, and [Lori] is his writing partner, and they were so gracious because they actually — I’m friends with Craig Perry to this day. We’re really tight. [He] produced it, and he’s like, ‘They called me.’ They wanted to talk to me about the first film and the second film, about what my thoughts were on what makes a Final Destination film — kind of the key elements that are crucial to me.”It’s just really nice because you don’t get that a lot. I’m friends with Eric Bress, who wrote part two. You become friends a lot of times with people just crossing paths, and Eric [Heisserer] who wrote part five is amazing. But it’s nice when the filmmakers actually call you and are like, ‘We wanna make sure that we get the essence of what’s important to you and what you think makes these Final Destinations, what you found connects with the fans.’ So, they have gone into the story with the best heart.”Reddick didn’t offer any story details for the new film, but I imagine the core concept remains: “A character has a premonition of a horrific and deadly event, cheats his or her own death, and saves several other lives in the process, only to have Death, as a personified but unstoppable force, come for the survivors one by one.”He went on to express his enthusiasm that the horror franchise still has fans that want another film:”And then Jon Watts who was behind the new Spider-Man movies came up with a story. I mean, I was just like, ‘This is the f-cking A-team!’ Craig will tell me stuff, and I can’t repeat it obviously because I’m very good at that because I know I don’t wanna spoil anything, but every time that I’ve heard anything that they’re doing, or any scene that they’re doing or planning, it just makes me smile. The fans are gonna be — it’s gonna be well worth the wait.”When previously talking about the movie, Reddick said that they are going to change things up a lot as the story will not involve the formula that the franchise beat to death over the first five films.“I will say that it’s not just going to be another kind of ‘we set up a group of people, they cheat death, and then just death gets them.’ And there’s one wrinkle that we kind of added to every movie to kind of like change it up a little bit: this one is… a true Final Destination movie, but it doesn’t follow that kind of formula that we’ve kind of established.”I guess, for now, stay tuned for any more details on Final Destination 6.
