A few weeks back Warner Bros. announced that FINAL DESTINATION 5 (in 3D) is scheduled to hit theaters everywhere August 26, 2011 (read the magical story HERE), and with the script from Eric Heisserer already in the bag, there’s only one thing left to do before the film gets closer to production: hire a director.

I couldn’t even tell you who should get the gig, though having someone involved in AVATAR might be good, considering FD5 will be in 3D.
