It seems that above all others, horror is the one franchise in which it’s culturally acceptable to release as many sequels as possible. Even superhero films, which are one of the highest grossing movie genres to date, has only gone to 3 or 4 films before ending or rebooting a franchise. Not horror. Films like Saw, Friday the 13th, Toxic Avenger, and countless others keep getting cranked out.
One of those franchises still cranking is New Line’s Final Destination. Starting in 2000, the franchise is now hitting it’s fifth (and probably not final) film in this August. Here’s the breakdown.
In “Final Destination 5,” Death is just as omnipresent as ever, and is unleashed after one man’s premonition saves a group of coworkers from a terrifying suspension bridge collapse. But this group of unsuspecting souls was never supposed to survive, and, in a terrifying race against time, the ill-fated group frantically tries to discover a way to escape Death’s sinister agenda.
Lots more “accidental yet creative” deaths, some more cringe-worthy tension, and the return of Tony Todd! Check it all out in the newest trailer for Final Destination 5 — or as we like to call it FIVEnal Destination.

Here it is your first official look at the full cast of AMC’s adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic The Walking Dead, courtesy of the cool cats at i09. We’ve previously had a bunch of info about this upcoming series but now we get to see something that as fans of the comic and the upcoming series, I know we’re excited to see.
In a world where a single photo can cast doubt on an entire movie, this new photo from The Walking Dead goes a long way to putting fears to rest that this adaptation will somehow suck. There’s always some doubt, given the track record of Hollywood and comic book adaptations (Ghost Rider or Daredevil anyone?), but with a cast that looks this perfect for their respective roles and if this look continues for the series, we seem to be in good hands with Frank Darabont and company. Although, I still want to know who’s playing Michonne? Perhaps we’ll find out during Comic-Con?
Check out a larger version of the pic after the jump. The Walking Dead debuts on AMC later this year.
