With the fourth Final Destination movie ending up with the rather we’ve-given-up title of The Final Destination, it’s shouldn’t be too surprising that the planned fifth instalment has also been given a rather cruddy name. However, they seem to be outdoing themselves this time.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that the plan is to call it 5nal Destination, which may be one of the most illiterate titles Hollywood has come up with yet. Presumably you’re just meant to pronounce if ‘Final’, although it could be ‘Fivenal’, while the unitiated might just think they’ve developed dyslexia when they see the first posters for the film.
It’s also being reported that the opening disaster – which has traditionally been the best bit of each film – will involve a collapsing suspension bridge. Eric Hesserier (Nightmare Of Elm Street remake) has written the script, while longtime James Cameron right-hand man Steve Quale (second-unit on Avatar and Titanic) will direct. The film starts shooting in November and will hits cinemas August 2011. Let’s just pray it’s better than the last one, despite the stupid title.
