Second Full ‘Final Destination 5’ Trailer!
Update: I just got off the phone with producer Craig Perry who swears to me up and down that the trailer actually doesn’t ruin much at all. In light of this, I guess it’s pretty cool if they were able to make the trailer this jam-packed and somehow found a way to keep it fresh for viewers when it hits theaters this August…
These are the days I hate owning a horror movie website.
Warner Bros. Pictures released the second full trailer for Final Destination 5, which not only reveals the new plot twist, but it also puts on display a portion of what appears to be every single death in the film — not to mention a hefty portion of the opening suspension bridge disaster. I would do just about anything to go back in time and NOT watch it.
Directed by Steven Quale in 3-D, “Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.”
FD5 explodes in your face August 12.
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
