‘Final Destination 5:’ Gets a Director
The 4th ‘Final Destination’ installment was the most successful of the franchise, grossing $182 million, so here comes the 5th one.
The director’s going to be Steve Quale, who was originally a visual effects supervisor for big movies like Avatar and Terminator 2. Final Destination 5 will be his first project as a director, and it’s going to be shot in 3-D, so best of luck with that. We expect the best visual effects ever!
Though the movie already got a release date (August 29, 2011) and is going to kick off shooting this September, there’s still no word on casting. But rumors are that the star of hit TV Show ‘Supernatural,’Jensen Ackles, is on board for the lead, which is kinda weird because this franchise is known for picking unknown actors who later become huge TV stars and not the other way round. (Ali Larter from ‘Heroes’ was in Final Destination 2, Nick Zano from ‘Cougar Town’ and ‘Melrose Place 2009’ was in The Final Destination, etc.)
