Final Destination 3


Six-years after the events of the previous film, the story now follows a high school senior who fails to stop a fated roller coaster ride that she predicted would cause the deaths of several of her friends. She then teams with a schoolmate in a race against time to prevent death from revisiting the survivors of the accident.

Director and Co-writer James Wong spoke with CS Daily briefly about the project. Here's some of what he said: "I thought a lot about what we would do next. We already did the airplane. Then I wondered, what plausible place could you put a person in that isn't just stupid? What would you put them on, a train or a cruise ship? Richard Brenner of New Line was the one that said roller coaster, and I thought that was a great idea. That's the one place that when you go on a ride you're really locked in. There's no escape. Once you get in, something bad happens. We also thought we have to do something different from the first two, we have to add another element."

Co-writer Glen Morgan spoke with SciFi Wire recently, revealing small details on the film. Here's some of what he said: "I don't know if we ever successfully pull it off, but Jim and I like to have themes, and this one, for the Wendy character, is about loss of control. ... You got a roller coaster, [and] psychologists will tell you that's why people hate 'em. Why you're afraid of them. Or why you're afraid to fly. Because you have no control. And for me, ... when I'm going up any roller coaster, I just say, 'I want out.' But I'm not getting out. That's just torture. ... It's unbearable. I'm nervous talking about it. ... If you look at death, that's [the same thing]. ... All of a sudden. I feel that if it wants us, [it's going to get us]. I think that's why the franchise kind of works."
