I feel that society puts too much emphasis on the final destination, whereas the journey of life

and all its richness and torture and blood and guts and viscera and sharp objects that are

quite, quite dangerous.

That's what it's really about, man.

Howdy.

I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A.

My agenda is simple.

Each week I plan to bring you

in-depth insight into the creative process of storytelling and folks. Today, we have a great

panel with you to discuss the film Final Destination Bloodlines. Our very talented guests include

producers Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor, along with co-writers Guy Busek and

Laurie Evans Taylor. This was a really fun episode. We recorded it before the film came out and

held it for the spoiler embargo and what was one of the fun things about Final Destinations

Bloodlines, it's that it's a great reboot. You don't have to do any homework to go see this

movie. You just got to walk in the theater sit down and have fun. That said, it's a great reboot. You don't have to do any homework to go see this movie. You just gotta walk in the theater, sit down, and have fun.

That said, it's a very thoughtful reboot that really pays attention to the lore that comes

before it.

Yet it has the freedom to go in new directions that the franchise has not gone to before,

which I think is why the film became such a success opening weekend.

Without a doubt, Craig, Sheila, Guy, and Lori were very forthcoming about their creative process

and what it took to get this film made, so I know you'll dig this episode.

Of course, I want to thank today's sponsor, Final Draft, and the Big Break Screenwriting Contest,
