More Meat for the Grinder

After The Final Destination took in a tidy sum at this time last year, New Line hasn’t hesitated to get Final Destination 5* ready for release by this time next year. With production ready to start next month (visual effects whiz Steven Quale is directing), the cast is finally coming together for the fifth film in a franchise that very much relishes killing said cast off.

In the lead, we have Nicholas D’Agosto (he’s that kid who counted all of the votes in Election before Matthew Broderick’s character interfered), and more importantly, David “Champ Kind/Todd Packer” Koechner is on board as… well, is it even fair to say comic relief in a series this goofy? Look, the man was in Snakes on a Plane; he knows full well what he’s doing here.

If Variety’s to be believed, then we’re in store for — future spoilers? — gruesome deaths involving “a suspension bridge and laser eye surgery.” You guys can keep your Saw series. This is my jam right here.

*If I don’t actually refer to it as 5nal Destination, then that title will just… go away. Right?

I just keep calling it "5nal Goes West."

I'm so there. I love this series like Devon Sawa loved being in a movie again.

No, William. It won't. This movie hungers for ass-meats, and it will not stop until it has an ass-meats sandwich.

All I can say is YAY! I hate that I love all of these movies! Except the 2nd one...they took themselves way to seriously.

But thanks to the 3rd one I will not ever Ever EVER get in a tanning bed again!!! LOL

Can I just say nice to read a relief to find anyone who actually understands just what they may be talking about on the internet. You certainly discover how to take a problem to light and enable it to be vital. More people need to learn this and know this section of the story. I cannot believe you're not very popular because you definitely have the gift.
