New Line tried, and failed, to get a FINAL DESTINATION movie in 3-D with the third installment but they're not content on giving up. The studio has signed DESTINATION vet David R. Ellis (he directed Part 2) to direct FINAL DESTINATION 4, which will be shot in 3-D. DESTINATION 3 was originally supposed to be shot in 3-D (and subsequently titled FINAL DESTINATION 3-D) but the process proved too expensive at the time and New Line scrapped the plans. Now that 3-D technology has become more mainstream, the studio revisited those plans and brought back the guy, in Ellis, who directed the best of the DESTINATION bunch. No plot details have been revealed but what do you really need to know? A bunch of teens cheat death and then get systematically killed in a variety of creative and gruesome ways. In 3-D. It's unclear whether this is a project New Line plans to greenlight during the strike or if it's earmarked as a post-strike film. Ellis has another horror film, ASYLUM, wrapped and ready for release in 2008.

Extra Tidbit: Ellis was also the guy who directed SNAKES ON A PLANE, which also would've been cool in 3-D.

Final Destination 2 was the best of the series so far...I'm all for Ellis coming back to helm part 4, especially in 3D.

Final Destination 2 was good. Snake on a Plane was pretty bad. But Final Destination 3 wasn't the best movie either. I'm mixed.

ok, IIRC...the 2nd installment was the one where the highway carnage with the log truck happens, and the squished by a pane of glass guy, right? how could you not want to see the gore in bloody cool 3-d !! that was the best of the 3 films, by a long shot, if that guy does part 4 in 3-d, im in, for sure.

Yes!


This is the best bad horror franchise in a long time. Why not up the cheese-factor with a lame 3-D gimmick?



Balboa - I don't think that continuity and logic are necessarily top priority when writing / directing these movies. They're about lining up dominoes and watching them fall.



Servo - They keep making these films because they're fun time-wasters that...

Servo - They keep making these films because they're fun time-wasters that generate big returns for studios. You and Balboa need to take things less seriously and just enjoy the blood. Enjoy the blood, damn it!

Why do they keep making these films? I had hope for the third one because it was done by the same guy who did the first one, but it actually turned out WORSE than the second one! I love the first one, still think it holds up as a great horror film...but damn did it really need three sequels!?

Eh...
Did anyone else notice that FD3 completely ignored the events in the second one? 1 & 2 fit together perfectly and were intertwined, but 3 ignored everything-there was just sort of an allusion to Devon Sawa's character in the first one for an extremely brief moment, which really had no point. If they can pick up some of the loose ends from the second one I'd be willing to see it. Otherwise, no way.
