Re: The Final Destination
New Line tried, and failed, to get a FINAL DESTINATION movie in 3-D with the third installment but they're not content on giving up. The studio has signed DESTINATION vet David R. Ellis (he directed Part 2) to direct FINAL DESTINATION 4, which will be shot in 3-D. DESTINATION 3 was originally supposed to be shot in 3-D (and subsequently titled FINAL DESTINATION 3-D) but the process proved too expensive at the time and New Line scrapped the plans. Now that 3-D technology has become more mainstream, the studio revisited those plans and brought back the guy, in Ellis, who directed the best of the DESTINATION bunch. No plot details have been revealed but what do you really need to know? A bunch of teens cheat death and then get systematically killed in a variety of creative and gruesome ways. In 3-D. It's unclear whether this is a project New Line plans to greenlight during the strike or if it's earmarked as a post-strike film. Ellis has another horror film, ASYLUM, wrapped and ready for release in 2008.

This could be cool, but I have mixed feelings about this. The first one was good, second was great, and the third sucked. They went to the same well too many times.
I'll watch it regardless, but I really hope they go in a slightly different direction and just ignore what happened in the prior films. I always hated how they investigated what happened with the group of teens in the first one. We know this series will never break any new ground as people only watch it to see the cool deaths, but at least give us a fresh plot.

Re: The Final Destination
I thought 3 was ok to be honest, like James said the story was just a repeat of the previous films but if you take it for what it is I think you'd still enjoy it if you liked 1 and 2.

The deaths weren't very creative, and the setup(the roller coaster) was lame.
This franchise had cash cow potential, but they ruined it by basically singing the same tune as the prior films. I'm actually surprised that a 4th is being considered because most fans didn't like the third one.
This is definitely the last chance for the series, so they better do something good with it. They're gonna be lucky if people even give it a chance, which may be why they are gonna use the 3-D angle.

The rollercoaster bit was lame I agree but I thought the deaths were pretty good. The nailgun and drive thru deaths were pretty good although perhaps not that creative. The sunbeds death was definately creative even if it was a bit too far fetched.

Re: The Final Destination
This should be good. The angles in the death scenes (especially in the first two FD's) and the way they were filmed would be a perfect setting for the use of 3-D, IF it is done correctly.
Re: The Final Destination
FINAL DESTINATION producer Craig Perry confirms that the opening disaster in New Line Cinema's HD 3-D sequel will in fact be during a high-speed race car crash where an object will fly into the stands killing (or just missing) some of the audience members!
In addition, he tells is that that the high-def 3-D technology they're using is the exact same system as the one James Cameron is using for AVATAR. He explains that they're going to be very careful about how they use the 3-D in the film. "Having something pop out at the audience every four minutes gets boring," he explains. He wants to use the 3-D to add depth and drama to the film, which if done like MONSTER HOUSE can really add to the experience of the film.
Lets rock n roll.:mosh:
