First Trailer for FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES - "Death Runs in the Family"
Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines, and it features the brutal, inventive, violent, and cringe-worthy death of one of the characters in the movie.
In the film, “Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.”
This is a franchise that I’ve enjoyed watching over the years. All of the films have delivered horrifically fun entertainment, and I’m looking forward to seeing what this next film delivers.
The horror franchise is being resurrected by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein (Freaks), who are directing from a script written by Lori Evans Taylor (Wicked Wicked Games) and Guy Busick (Scream), with Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) producing.
The cast includes Teo Briones (Chucky), Brec Bassinger (Stargirl), Kaitlyn Santa Juana (The Friendship Game), Richard Harmon (Grave Encounters 2), Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book Of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi), and Tinpo Lee (The Manor).
Late horror legend Tony Todd also returns as William Bludworth.
Producer Craig Perry previously talked about the film, saying: “2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of the first installment in the franchise. To honor the occasion with another worldwide theatrical release (in IMAX, no less) is a rare and wonderful thing.”
Franchise creator Jeffrey Reddick previously offered up an interesting tease last year, saying: “This film dives into the film in such a unique way that it attacks it from a different angle so you don’t feel like, ‘Oh, there’s an amazing setup and then there’s gonna be one wrinkle that can potentially save you all that you have to kind of make a moral choice about or do to solve it.’ There’s an expansion of the universe that – I’m being so careful.
“It kind of unearths a whole deep layer to the story that kind of, yes, makes it really, really interesting.”
He added that they are going to change things up a lot as the story will not involve the formula that the franchise beat to death over the first five films.
“I will say that it’s not just going to be another kind of ‘we set up a group of people, they cheat death, and then just death gets them.’
“And there’s one wrinkle that we kind of added to every movie to kind of like change it up a little bit: this one is… a true Final Destination movie, but it doesn’t follow that kind of formula that we’ve kind of established.”
