New Line’s latest Final Destination movie has lined up some fresh young blood for Death to take hold of.
Brec Bassinger, who starred in The CW’s DC series Stargirl, Chucky actor Teo Briones and Dear Evan Hansen stage actress Kaitlyn Santa Juana are leading the cast of Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth installment of the horror franchise now in production in Vancouver.
Also on the death list are The 100 star Richard Harmon, Gotham Knights actress Anna Lore and Owen Patrick Joyner, one of the stars of Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms.
Max Lloyd-Jones (The Book of Boba Fett), Rya Kihlstedt (Obi Wan Kenobi) and Tinpo Lee (The Manor) round out the rest of the cast.
The feature is being directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, the duo behind Freaks. Spider-Man: No Way Home filmmaker Jon Watts and Dianne McGunigle (Cop Car) are producing alongside longtime Destination producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor.
Plot details are being kept under lock and key, but a single core concept has driven the series: A character has a premonition of a horrific and deadly event, cheats his or her own death and saves several other lives in the process, only to have Death, personified as an invisible but unstoppable force, come for the survivors one by one. Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor wrote the script for this outting.
