Warner Bros. is betting that horror audiences will be in the mood to watch 20-something models die in gruesome/entertaining ways in 3D with Final Destination 5. Warner, alongside New Line Cinema have $47 million riding on that.Horror films and 3D have gone together like peanut butter and jelly if they were deep fried and placed on a stick. Having the appearance of severed heads, spears, arrows and machetes fly past your face is a thrill cater made for in-theater enjoyment.
After all, horror movies are a communal experience: we all like to be startled, jolted and have our blood race with other people. We’re kinda sick that way.
The fifth entry in the Final Destination was shot using the Cameron-Pace Fusion Camera System. The same rig used on Avatar, Resident Evil: Afterlife and Tron Legacy.
Not so fast, moviegoer. Final Destination 5 will be darker than its predecessor and will return to the roots of the first Final Destination in 2000. It would by no reason be an excuse to use 3D to let down the audience after charging more for the tickets.
Final Destination 4 was shot in HD 3D in 2009, which may have been a century ago considering advancements in 3D technology.
In early 2011, Avatar director and 3D proponent James Cameron formed the Cameron-Pace Group alongside friend and fellow tech evangelist Vincent Pace. The group aims to streamline 3D technology to make 3D easy to use and cost effective. Since that time, the equipment has been used on blockbusters like Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Final Destination 5 is directed by Steven Quale who was a visual effects supervisor on Avatar who promised astounding 3D experience when the film hits theaters on August 12.
