Tony Todd Returns as the Reaper in ‘Final Destination 5’
BC writes in from London where he learned that Tony Todd will make his return to the Final Destination franchise in New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Final Destination 5, which begins lensing September 13 in Vancouver. He cameo’d in the first two films as Mr. Bludworth, which many horror fans believe is “Death”. He’ll be joining Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Meghan Ory, David Koechner, Miles Fisher and Arlen Escarpeta in the horror that opens with a suspension bridge disaster. Being directed by James Cameron alum Steven Quale from a screenplay by Eric Heisserer (The Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Death returns to theaters on August 26, 2011.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
