New Line kicked off production on the 5th incarnation of its highly popular FINAL DESTINATION franchise today, this time with director Steven Quale manning the reins. He’ll be working from a script by remake/sequel man Eric Heisserer (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THE THING), shooting in ubiquitous 3D (as part four in the series did). The flick is due in less than a year, so it’s pretty wise they start shooting some mothaf*ckin’ footie on this thing, no?!?

Set to star Emma Bell (below), Tony Todd, Courtney B. Vance, David Koechner, Miles Fisher, P.J. Byrne, Ellen Wroe and Arlen Escarpeta – In this fifth installment, Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse (as seen in the first production photo above). But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda. The new victims of Death’s plan are part of a cast led by Emma Bell (Frozen, TV’s “The Walking Dead”) and Nick D’Agosto (Fired Up!, TV’s “Heroes”). The film is being shot on location in Vancouver, Canada. The second of the “Final Destination” films to be shot in 3-D, Final Destination 5 is being directed by Steve Quale, marking his major feature film directorial debut.
