Death has a master plan, and we’ll see it unfold in Final Destination 6. That is, once the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are done.
Franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick is promoting his latest production, Til Death Do Us Part, in theaters on August 4th, and answered one of Collider’s burning questions about more Final Destination movies, stating: “There is a sixth one that’s planned the minute, again, the AMPTP comes back to the table, that movie is ready to go.”
“It’s just nice as a genre fan to have something created that has become a part of the public zeitgeist,” Reddick continued. “Again, I couldn’t have asked for more. We’re gonna get a winner, and also, I spoke to Guy Busick; he did the Scream reboot, and [Lori] is his writing partner, and they were so gracious because they actually – I’m friends with Craig Perry to this day. We’re really tight. [He] produced it, and he’s like, ‘They called me.’ They wanted to talk to me about the first film and the second film, about what my thoughts were on what makes a Final Destination film – kind of the key elements that are crucial to me.”
“It’s just really nice because you don’t get that a lot. I’m friends with Eric Bress, who wrote part two. You become friends a lot of times with people just crossing paths, and Eric Heisserer, who wrote part five, is amazing. But it’s nice when the filmmakers actually call you and are like, ‘We wanna make sure that we get the essence of what’s important to you and what you think makes these Final Destinations, what you found connects with the fans.’ So, they have gone into the story with the best heart.”
The last we heard about the film, it was reported that it would look at the dangerous world of first responders, but we’ve seen no update on the script or story since almost 2020.
