New ‘Final Destination’ movie in works with ‘Bloodlines’ co-writer

California, Aug 8 (UNI) The Warner Bros. division, New Line, is moving forward with a follow-up to its horror hit Final Destination: Bloodlines, hiring that movie’s co-writer, Lori Evans Taylor, to pen the next installment.
The hiring comes after Bloodlines, released in May, grossed over USD 286 million at the worldwide box office, USD 138.1 million of that domestically.
That movie was the sixth installment of the horror franchise and the first one since 2011, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
It was by far the most successful outing of the movie series, with its domestic total more than double the next movie down, 2009’s The Final Destination.
Taylor was a key player on the script, which was co-written with Guy Busick (Ready or Not) from a story by Taylor, Busick and Jon Watts, the Spider-Man: Homecoming director, who was creatively involved with Bloodlines. Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein directed the film.
Destination franchise producer and steward Craig Perry and franchise veteran Sheila Hanahan Taylor are back as producers, so are Watts and his wife, Dianne McGunigle, along with Toby Emmerich.
Warren Zide will be its executive producer.
