The Word of the Day is Bloodlines

Finally, some new news on the next movie in the Final Destination franchise! And no -- as far as we know Devon Sawa is not reprising his role of Alex Browning from the original 2000 film. I use that recent photo of Devon looking all beefcake-y just because I don't know what other image to use, and I know my audience. That said we don't actually know that Devon isn't returning either -- they keep finding ways to bring him back every season for Chucky, after all.  We just don't have word on any actors yet -- but we do have word that they started filming the sixth film this week via the film's producer Craig Perry. 

And we  also have word that the film's title will be Final Destination: Bloodlines -- and that subtitle makes me feel as if we can maybe suss out some stuff about where they're heading? Everybody has been tight-lipped on what the plans are to restart the franchise -- which closed a looped at the end of the fifth movie, time-jumping back to the beginning -- although producer Jeffrey Reddick (as quoted in the link above) did drop some very vague clues, basically saying we shouldn't expect this one to follow the same formula the previous five did, meaning an inciting incident (car crash, plane crash, rollerciatser crash) leading to a group of survivors who should have died but didn't slowly being picked off by Death itself.

The survivors were always connected by just that -- a random group of people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But the subtitle "Bloodlines" makes me think -- and I know, I'm pretty f'ing smart for figuring this one out, hoo boy -- this film could be about people related to suvivors? We're an entire generation from the first movie -- they could just be going the Scream route, and now death is hunting the next generation, aka the kids who are alive but shouldn't be because of the first five films' happenings. 

Of course... who could that be? Basically, Death got its way and eventually killed everybody in those first five movies. I don't have that part figured out. We'll leave that to the screenwriters. And I could be a moron -- always a distinct possibility -- barking up the wrong tree. We'll know more once we actually see some set stuff, or some actors involved. I'm just happy that my favorite horror franchise is coming back! Oh and we do know one more thing about the sixth film...

'FINAL DESTINATION 6' will include a tattoo parlor kill sequence.
