\n\tIt turns out Death doesn\u2019t take a holiday\u2014at least not with box office numbers this good for New Line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the franchise\u2019s record-breaking release<\/a> of Final Destination Bloodlines<\/a> in May, co-writer Lori Evans Taylor<\/a> (Bed Rest, Cellar Door) has signed on to pen the seventh installment in the supernatural horror film series that launched in 2000.<\/p>\n

\n\tCraig Perry, Sheila Hanahan Taylor, Jon Watts, Dianne McGunigle and Toby Emmerich are returning to produce with Warren Zide executive producing.<\/p>\n

\n\tCo-written with Guy Busick from a story by Jon Watts and directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Final Destination Bloodlines<\/a> saw a $51 million franchise-best opening<\/a>, ultimately surpassing $285M at the global box office. The franchise\u2019s overall $983 million haul makes it New Line\u2019s third biggest horror franchise after The Conjuring and It.<\/p>\n

\n\tTaylor is repped by WME, Kaplan\/Perrone, and McKuin, Frankel and Whitehead. She previously wrote the screen adaptation of Carla Norton\u2019s The Edge of Normal, which wrapped in spring 2025 with Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz starring and Carlota Pereda directing.<\/p>\n

\n\tEach movie in the Final Destination franchise begins with someone predicting a mass-casualty event, saving a group of unlucky few, only for them to go on to die horrific deaths. Marking the franchise\u2019s first sequel in 14 years, Bloodlines serves as a partial prequel, harkening back to an incident in 1969.<\/p>\n

\n\tPerry, who has produced every movie in the franchise, previously explained to Deadline how Bloodlines opens the franchise up to new possibilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things that Jon Watts, by bringing in the idea of starting in the \u201960s and jumping forward 50 years, I think has liberated us creatively to be able to go to a lot of different places in time and to make connections that we wouldn\u2019t have been able to do otherwise,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I think that expansion, that sort of satellite view of the plan, I think is going to hopefully allow us an opportunity in the future to have even more interesting and creative deaths for the fans to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPerry added, \u201cThat\u2019s why this franchise is weirdly evergreen, because we don\u2019t have necessarily continuing characters, so you can jump around. And the whole point of it is that it\u2019s relatable, they\u2019re in environments and situations that you might find yourself in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It turns out Death doesn\u2019t take a holiday\u2014at least not with box office numbers this good for New…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":130313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,476,79309,67970,79310,53,79311,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-130312","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-final-destination","10":"tag-final-destination-7","11":"tag-final-destination-bloodlines","12":"tag-lori-evans-taylor","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-new-line","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114995826813105188","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
