Cameron Alumn Named as ‘Final Destination 5’ Director!
Steven Quale, the second unit director for Avatar, has been tapped to helm Final Destination 5, the latest installment in New Line’s horror franchise. An interesting choice on the cusp of rumors that David R. Ellis didn’t know how to shoot 3-D with The Final Destination. Eric Heisserer (A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing) wrote the script, and Craig Perry is producing the pic, which has a September 13 start date in Vancouver. Quale is a James Cameron protege, having started as a PA on the director’s 1989 sci-fi movie The Abyss. He was the second unit director for Cameron’s Titanic and co-directed the filmmaker’s undersea doc Aliens of the Deep. Insiders say that Cameron even lobbed a call to New Line toppers to give them his recommendation. Very, very interesting. Have your say below and cheat death on August 26, 2011.
The “Destination” movies, which center on the idea that one can’t cheat death, usually begin with a group of people who survive a catastrophe because of the intervention of one person who has a premonition. Death, however, will have its due, and the survivors end up expiring in elaborate Rube Goldberg-like fashion.
You may end up rethinking karaoke nights with your friends after you watch the upcoming horror-comedy Bad Karaoke, set to World Premiere on Sunday, August 30 as part of Tubi FrightFest in London. You can preview the film with the official trailer below.
Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. and Chris Lightbody directed Bad Karaoke.
In the film, “When wedding band keyboardist Emily discovers an old karaoke machine in the back of a dive bar, she thinks it will lead to a fun-filled night of singing and bonding with her bandmates. Unfortunately, this karaoke machine seems to have a thirst for blood.”
“When the singing begins, so does the bloodshed.”
“When an excellent performance allows someone to be spared by the machine, the crew think they’ve figured out how to finally beat it. Proven almost immediately wrong, it takes more horrifying deaths and a visit from a mysterious stranger to realize they may have a chance at survival after all.”
Lexi Underwood (“Cruel Summer”), Case Walker (Monster High: The Movie), and Kat Cunning (Purple Hearts) star in the upcoming horror-comedy Bad Karaoke.
Chris Lightbody and Spencer Yaras wrote the screenplay.
“We were inspired to make this film after years of painful karaoke performances nearly put us in an early grave,” the directors said in a statement. “We found that many people have had near-death karaoke experiences and we wanted to play with that idea, as well as say something profound about the state of new music. But instead, we made Bad Karaoke.”
