Final Destination 6 Begins Filming, Aiming To Cheat Death In 2025

Teenagers with precognitive abilities beware because a new Final Destination film has begun filming. Production for the Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema horror film, titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, kicked off this week and its targeted 2025 release window was confirmed by producer Craig Perry.

"After a long, hard slog through the pandemic and the strikes, Day One is finally in the can," Perry said on his Facebook account (via Bloody Disgusting). "2025 will mark the 25th-anniversary of the release of the first installment in the franchise. To honor the occasion with another worldwide theatrical release--in IMAX, no less--is a rare and wonderful thing."

Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth film in the series, with its last entry being Final Destination 5 in 2011. The original movie starred Devon Sawa as Alex Browning, a high school student who cheats Death after he has a premonition of his plane exploding due to a mechanical failure. Narrowly escaping his destined death alongside several of his friends, Browning soon discovers that Death is hunting them and each survivor begins to die in grisly and unusual circumstances.

The sequels roughly follow that same trajectory of psychic visions and untimely deaths for anyone who disrupts Death's plan. For Bloodlines, Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick addressed comments that the formula would be changed.

"This film doesn't just kind of add another layer," Reddick said to Collider last year. "Usually there's a new layer every film where it's like, 'Oh, well, this can save you or this can save you.' This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don't feel like, 'Oh, there's an amazing setup and then there's gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.'"
