Emma Bell Hopes to Cheat Death Once Again in ‘Final Destination 5’
Emma Bell (Frozen, “The Walking Dead”) has been cast alongside Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, Nicholas D’Agosto, Ellen Wroe, Meghan Ory, David Koechner, Tony Todd, and P.J. Byrne in New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures’ Final Destination 5, the latest 3-D sequel arriving in theaters August 26, 2011, reports AITH. James Cameron protege Steven Quale will direct with the story by Eric Heisserer (The Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street). The plot is being kept under lock and key, although one scene involves a character undergoing laser-eye surgery, and as we reported earlier, the pic opens with a suspension bridge disaster.
From director David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), Heart of the Beast will hit theaters on September 25 from Paramount Pictures, and GQ shares first look images this week.
In the film, a former Army Special Forces soldier and his retired combat dog attempt to return to civilization after suffering a catastrophic accident deep in the Alaskan wilderness.
Brad Pitt stars in the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, with J.K. Simmons (Whiplash) and Anna Lambe (“True Detective: Night Country”) also starring.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay for Heart of the Beast. Academy Award winner Mauro Fiore (Avatar, Spider-Man: No Way Home) serves as director of photography.
“I’ll just be really honest: it made me cry,” Ayer tells GQ of the script. “Reading the script, it’s like a tone poem, in a sense. It’s so sparse—just a guy, a dog, mountains, and the calamities and triumphs that unfold, but what’s fascinating about the script is they’re constantly rescuing each other. It’s not like a guy and his pet—they felt like co-equals in this story. Brad wanted to be No. 2 on the call sheet, and rightly so. There was just something profound in the script. It felt like a study in grief, in healing, and of the human heart. So I had to do it.”
Ayer promises, “Don’t worry, the dog lives.”
