| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Weekly. It's Wednesday, August 13th, 2025. And on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the latest film and TV news. And we'll present interviews with the folks behind Weapons, Star Trek Strange New World Season 3 and a new Netflix animated comedy called Fixed. My name is Ben Pearson. I'm an editor at Slashfilm.com. And I'm joined on today's episode by Slashfilm staff writer, Ryan Scott. |
| 0:23.2 | Hey, hey, everyone. How's it going? |
| 0:25.1 | All right, Ryan. I'm glad to have you here. So let's jump into some new stuff to kick things off here. |
| 0:32.5 | Final Destination 7 is in the works, the writer behind Final Destination Bloodlines, one of the co-writers, actually, |
| 0:40.1 | Lori Evans-Taylor, has been hired to write the screenplay for another Final Destination |
| 0:45.4 | movie. |
| 0:45.9 | Are you remotely surprised? |
| 0:49.1 | No, no, not even close. |
| 0:50.6 | I mean, Final Destination Bloodline's made $285 million at the box office, which was far and away the highest grossing movie in that franchise. And I'm talking by like, I think a little over $100 million. So yeah, even if you like adjust the old ones for inflation, this is still like a monster win, you know, especially considering this was originally |
| 1:12.4 | supposed to go to HBO Max. So it's pretty crazy that it did as well as it did. And yeah, I mean, |
| 1:18.7 | this is, this is in no genre like horror will studios capitalize on a success, you know, more. So, |
| 1:26.2 | of course. But I'm kind of curious because |
| 1:30.0 | I guess, I guess people are catching up with this on HBO Max now, so I don't want to spoil |
| 1:34.7 | anything. But let's just say it seems like they probably have to go with a mostly new cast for |
| 1:41.3 | the seventh one is what I would say. Yeah, I think that's probably a fair assumption people have for a final destination movie where a lot of people die in pretty gruesome and ingenious ways. |
| 1:52.8 | My big question is, are Zach Lopovsky and Adam Stein, the directors of Bloodline, is going to come back for this? |
| 1:58.7 | They were not mentioned in this news blast, |
| 2:02.6 | but I wonder if they are just holding out for negotiating and things like that, |
| 2:07.2 | or if they are actually no longer interested in moving on to some other project or something |
| 2:11.8 | like that too. So yeah, really curious to see what happens there. Let me ask you, |
| 2:19.6 | I'm just going to completely put you on the spot here, Ryan, |
| 2:21.4 | and see if you have an answer at the top of your head. |
