New Final Destination movie takes place in the world of first responders

FINAL DESTINATION celebrates its 20th anniversary this month and to mark the occasion, series producer Craig Perry and series creator Jeffrey Reddick talked a bit about what we can expect from the new movie from SAW writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan.

Perry says:

We're toying with having it take place in the world of first responders: EMTs, firemen, and police. These people deal with death on the front lines every day and make choices that can cause people to live or die. We rely on their good judgment, expertise, and calm demeanor. So why not put those people in the nightmare situation where every choice can bring about life and death – but now for themselves? We're thinking that world might be an interesting way into a Final Destination movie, and one which can also generate unique set pieces in a very credible way.

Even though it's unlikely to tie into the original movie, series creator Jeffrey Reddick says it isn't quite a reboot.

Reddick:

The concept behind it is unique. I think reboot is probably too strong of a word, it makes it sound like they're going to change everything, but it's definitely a Final Destination movie. Craig is the master of coming up with crazy openings and set pieces. He's told me a couple of things that happen in this one and it's going to be a lot of fun. It's not going feel like cash-grab Final Destination film.

Perry teases:

I don't think anybody will look at a revolving door in the same way again…
