In case you haven't heard, the next Final Destination
is now being called "5nal Destination". I swear, the first time I read it I mistook the "5" for an "A" and that way the title had a whole different meaning, and would probably work for a whole different type of film.' We advised them to simply call it
Final Destination 3-D. The Saw franchise, however, isn't stooping to such mindless levels of so-called creativity but have taken our advice of dropping the roman numerals, albeit with a slightly more "in your face" route by titling the seventh Saw film,
Saw 3D : The Traps Come Alive. Update: Bloody Disgusting now say it'll be titled Saw 3D with 'The Traps Come Alive" just a tagline, so they have completely taken on board our advice. The reason for the change being
Saw VI's $27 million domestic taking last October, which was the first chink in Lionsgate's armour (Saw movies had never previously grossed under $55 million), and they are desperately hoping to rejuvenate life into this series by advertising a spectacle unlike those you have seen in the previous six movies. That's also why Avatar visual effects guy
Steve Quale has been brought in to direct and this installment will most likely have lots more blood, guts, eyeballs, and all sorts of deranged contraptions than ever before, all the while virtually flying straight at you while you struggle to chew down your popcorn trying not to throwing up a little. It begs the question; What's Saw 8 going to be called?
Saw 3D : The Traps Remain Alive? I'm not even going to speculate about
F1nal D35t1nat10n. Hopefully, these last desperate attempts in both long-running horror franchises will be the end of it.
