The Directors of Final Destination: Bloodlines Want to Ruin More Everyday Experiences for You

Warning: This message contains spoilers for Final destination: lines.

A flying log at the back of a truck and exploding in your windshield. Be fried living in a tanning bed. Stay your hand stuck in the elimination of garbage. Whoever saw a Final destination The film tends to be able to appoint at least a deadly scenario of the franchise which continued to haunt them long after the roll of credits.

These unforgettable death traps are a great reason why the horror series, which made its debut in 2000 with an inaugural episode which quickly won a cult, has such power. They are also a beloved functionality of the first five films that Final destination: lines Direct the duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein (Cash) wanted to make sure they stay alive, so to speak.

“One of the very first things we talked about when we started working on the film was, what can we ruin for people?” Said Stein laughing. “So, a large part of the creative process has been to identify these current and daily experiences that will remain with people for the rest of their lives. It can be something as simple as a cup full of ice or something as specific as the song ‘` `Shout’ ‘, which will make you think of this film at any time as you hear it during a marriage from now on.”

Although initially critically turned, the Final destination The franchise reported north of $ 666 million worldwide through five films. NOW, LineageThe long-awaited sixth entry of the saga is congratulated as “elegantly sadistic entertainment” and should be gross at least 35 to 40 million dollars in its opening weekend. He arrives in theaters a little less than two months after the 25th anniversary of the first film which transformed death into an invisible, unprecedented, but always personified, affectionate of diabolically complexed in Rube Goldberg style.

“There is no killer in a mask flowing with a knife,” explains Stein. “But death has a personality. Death is very intelligent and plays a long game. That is why people love these films. The killed are so fun to watch that you end up rooting death in a certain way.”

Having grown up in Vancouver, where most of the previous entries were filmed, Lipovsky says he had a weak Final destination. “Many of my friends died Final destination Films or worked on Final destination Films, “he said.” Many benchmarks are pieces. It is sort of a basic food in the city. »»

So when a shot to the landing of the staging concert for Lineage appeared, he and Stein decided to go Broke. The couple finally convinced the powers that they are good for the job simulated Stein’s death at the end of a zoom meeting. Thanks to a combination of pre -recorded sequences and visual effects, new leaders and line producers received first row seats at their potential hiring suddenly decapitated by a falling ceiling fan. Thus, the agreement was sealed.

As for each Final destination who preceded, Lineage Open with a character with a vision of a horrible and terrifying event of mass victims in which they, and all friends and relatives with them, are killed. This premonition allows them to escape death, but only until it ends up catching them and begins to orchestrate their deaths in the same order in which they were originally intended to die. However, this time there is a twist. When the person who experiences the vision happens suddenly, we see that it is not the woman in the center of the carnage, Iris (Brec Basinger in her young years and Gabrielle Rose later in life), but rather a student, Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), who is revealed to be his granddaughter.

“The biggest challenge with Lineage Was that the formula is already working very well: a bunch of people escape death, are marked by death, and death comes for them. This is why you are going to the theater. And Final destination 5 ended with such a way that it looked like the perfect conclusion, “explains Lipovsky about the invigoration of the franchise after a 14 -year interruption.” So we wanted to find all kinds of ways of being faithful to the cannon, but twisting it to play with people’s expectations. We wanted it to feel fresh.

It turns out that, because Iris was able to prevent the collapse of the opening evening of the Skyview Tower restaurant and save everyone inside after having initially had the vision in 1968, it took the death long enough to make its way through its planned victims that many of them ended up having children. This created lines which, in the spirit of death, should never have existed and led to death to go after the descendants of its victims. Since Iris was the second to the last person to die in the premonition, all of this occurred for his time to obtain death tips and she finally hid in a distant and fortified cabin for decades to avoid any deadly surprise. But, once Iris finally gave himself to death, the burden of trying to protect the family – and to understand the rules of the cosmic justice of death – goes to Stefani.

This unconventional configuration also allows Lineage To give the franchise the pillar and the owner of the cryptic funeral show William Bludworth (legend of deceased horror and Candy Star Tony Todd in his last role) a long -awaited background. “He has always been this mysterious character who has a lot of information without any reason and who is just this strange and scary guy,” explains Lipovsky. “So we wanted to help explain where he came from and why he is as he is. And then, above all, we wanted not only to give the character a farewell, but also to give Tony the opportunity to say goodbye to the public.”

Although we do not reveal exactly what happens Stefani and the rest of his family, the increasingly inventive and often dark methods are more and more dark to do his job about being seen in a theater with a host of horror fans – if you are in this kind of thing.

“There is the death of a 12 -year -old boy at the start of the film, and the way the public reacts when it happens is encouraging joy that the child was crushed,” said Lipovsky. “This is an experience that you will not get in your home.”
