ROTTEN TOMATOES: Are You Ready for Final Destination 4?

Are You Ready for Final Destination 4?

No? Too bad. They're making it anyway.

by Jeff Giles | November 20, 2007

Final Destination 2 director David R. Ellis will soon be taking moviegoers to the most final-est destination of all.

Yes, you guessed it, we're in for a Final Destination 4 -- and what's more, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Ellis and New Line are planning to film it in 3-D. From the article:

The premise of the series is that even if you cheat death once, a force that is death itself will stalk you until it finishes what is started, usually in a gruesome fashion. While plot details for "FD4" are being kept under wraps, the movie will stand alone: It will feature new teens facing new forms of death.

The script may feature all-new teens and all-new death, but its script was written by a familiar face -- Eric Bress, who co-wrote the series' first sequel. The Hollywood Reporter says Final Destination 4 doesn't have a start date, but with a collected gross of $150 million, you can bet New Line will be rolling the franchise's next installment onto the assembly line sooner than later.

This movie will piss Death off almost as much as film audiences being subjected to continual crap like this.

this isn't news, anybody who saw FD3 knew there would be another. they're not that bad. they're by NO means great...but i see the Halloween remake, then the Saw's...and these don't seem half bad compared to them. one was pretty good, two was decent...three was laughable. 4 should finally kill off death and end the series.

i'm waitin' for Scream 4(prequel?) to come out. i think its just a matter of time...fits the whole "tired horror series" agenda movie makers seem to have nowadays

The original director of the series is much better, including his screenwriters, and they worked on FD 1 and FD 3. FD 2 was not as good as these other two, b/c they brought on another director and screenwriter. Now they want to bring these hacks back. If the original director doesn't want to continue the series he made, don't go around his back and hire someone not as good, just to make another one.

Overall, the Final Destination series has been pretty good, I don't want to see them ruining that.

Maybe it should be about someone that sees a big death happening, avoids it, but the people that should have died die even worse deaths.

Nah, to original.

I actually like these movies. I love how they combine the seriousness of the main characters with the cartoony death sequences.

Anyway, Three should've been the concluding chapter, but it turned out to be a remake of the original. So I guess this fourth film should tie up the loose ends instead.

I actually enjoy the FD1, FD2 and FD3 were so so. I really don't know why they want to make another one.

Ok.... But they're really going to have to do something different, there is no overall plot to the films as a whole. The same thing happens everytime

************* SPOILER *************************

Everyone always dies. No one is left alive, and no one figures out how to cheat death. I mean they're interesting movies, but the movie needs to move the plot forward..... it shouldn't just be "Ok here is the cast for this movie, and they're all going to die in weird ways :) "

My vain pitch to try to end the whole franchise for good: Dude working for the State Department is able to through one action after another, set off a Nuclear Holocaust...which in turn destroys all mammalian life on Earth. The rest of the formulaic premise for the next 1 and a half hours is how they try to stop it, but they can't.

Final seconds of the film shows the main character riding on top of the last Nuke to destroy known life like Slim Pickens...last frame is a mushroom cloud. Some bubble gum punk rock like Good Charlotte or Green Day blasts over the speakers, credits roll...and then 3 years later we all post how pissed off we are to hear they're making--incredulously --Final Destination 5: The Prequel...and on and on and on...

i hate to ruin your spoiler RedRing but 2 people did stay alive in FD2. so maybe there is some hope that this movie will be worth the full price admission.

I've only seen number 3 and it was HILARIOUS! The weight room scene blew my mind. It's such trash, but funny.

I liked one and two. If Tony Todd is in it I'll watch it. If he's not then forget about it.

I absolutely love these awful movies. This is how you make throw-away comedy horror.

If I could write all the straight-to-DVD Final Destination sequels, I would be one happy camper. I'd set my first sequel in the Amish country, as a brief respite from all the "water machine=death" scenes that are frankly getting a little too predictable.

Jebediah envisions a horrific horse carriage accident and stops it from happening. But Death is pissed, and responds with butter-churning accidents, farm animal stampedes, and a square dance gone fatally wrong. Jebediah realizes the key to stopping the machinations of Death is to venture into the big city and get the help of the only man who has cheated Death and lived...Lance Armstrong.
