Going along with the new trend in dropping a digit into the title (i.e. Scre4m), Bloody Disgusting learned that Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema have tentatively set the title of their fifth Final Destination to: 5NAL DESTINATION. It's gets better, we've got confirmation that the opening disaster involves a suspension bridge collapsing. Boom! There you have it. Now talk. Penned by Eric Heisserer (The Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Steven Quale (James Cameron's right-hand man; read more) will be getting behind the camera this September with the film slated for release in 3-D on August 26, 2011.

It's bad enough they're making yet another Final Destination film when it seemed like the last one was gonna end the franchise (the first two of which I was a big fan of BTW), but THAT'S the title you're gonna go with?

The jokes just write themselves.

Make the deaths more realistic and serious. The first one had everybody afraid to get on a plane. Then they just threw out one stupid death scene after another. Each death became more and more and more contrived. They failed on the franchise because it could have been realistic deaths that make people afraid of everyday things.

I agree. I like the simple deaths in the series like getting hit by a bus or the airbag deplying and ramming your head through the pip, but the 3rd one just had series of ridiculous Rube Goldberg-esque death scenes that take you right out of the movie.

And yes, the "anal" joke was what I was alluding to in the OP.

lmao im glad i wasnt the only one who saw that. i like some of the kills in those movies but other than that theyre crappy. they should just condense all the kills into one movie and get rid of everythig else.
 
I liked the second one the most, the other ones....not too much, I'm not sure what was missing, but it felt like there was something missing.
 
I wonder if they are using Square's definition of the word "Final".

I didn't like any of them, but my ex-wife did. I could make a joke about that, but truth be told, it isn't worth it. Neither was she.
 
$10 says the titles chances the moment the idiots at the studio look at the promotional teaser poster concepts. "WTF? That makes no sense. You're fired."
 
I kinda hope they leave this as the title just so that happens ^

Edit: I also think it would be interesting is someone did make a movie called "Anal Destination" & see what it would be like XD
 
1 was okay. The rest bothered me how the characters could see close friends killed, scream for 0.5 seconds. Then go back to normal Scooby-Doo Investigation Mode as if nothing happened.

This. It always bothered me to. If one of my friends died, especially after I saved them from one death, would mindfuck me too much to care about playing Scooby Doo.

You read right.

Its about a guy and his friends wrongfully accused of a crime and they all went to jail and were raped but they luckily thanks to his vision avoided being arrested. Now he has vision of his friends being anally raped and he is trying to save them all before they all are sodomized. The trailer showed one guy working in the garden and the wind blows a rake over behind a guy and he trips over his shoelaces and as he falls the rake pulls his pants down and he falls ass first onto a cucumber.

Considering the porn industry loves parodies, it'll happen.
 
You know, that's actually slightly more clever than like, replacing A with 4 or some of the others, because this one almost works when you actually pronounce it.
 
Admittedly, I keep forgetting the most recent was the 4th. Curse there being no number in the title. But yeah, a suspension bridge, for some reason I can't get excited for this. Maybe when I see a trailer.

I think this is all porns anyway. They always look surprised to have their cinnamon ring breached.
 
I think it would be best to change the topic title to Final Destination 5. Since there's more than a page & 1/2 of "Anal Destination". Yes, when skimming the forum, it does look like that.

In all seriousness, I stopped caring after the 2nd movie. The 3rd one seemed more about the deaths and I never even bothered watching the 4th movie.
 
This thread reminded me why love reading CAG. Anyway, yeah, read the title as other have. First two were fun films. Strangely, I think I own 3 but don't remember anything from that movie, other than the last kill had something to do with an amusement park/rollercoaster ride or something like. Just saw the 4th one recently. Didn't care for most of the movie, but I thought the car wash scene was certainly inventive.
 
I had a Grandma that was bed ridden. My Aunt told me one day (while she was still living) that my Grandma liked ALL the Destination movies. Basically, she didn't want to be around anymore and I didn't blame her.
 
I feel this way about it: the horror genre was BUILT on movies with endless unnecessary and terrible sequels. It's a staple of the 80s which, in my opinion, is the best decade for horror. Quite frankly, as terrible as the last two were (save for the chick in part three that got her hand nailed to her face), I welcome this movie as well as Scream 4 with open arms. I would much, much rather watch an awful sequel to a great film than an awful remake of a great film.
