“I don’t think there will be an involvement,” Sawa replied. “They essentially started fresh every time, kind of, but I guess this is a whole new team. I have been a fan of the franchise. I went to the premiere of number five. I thought that was the best one of the series just because of the 3D and the directors did a fantastic job. So I am excited. I have always been excited and, you know, it gets people watching the first again. It starts the whole debate. Is it better than the first? It’s a good time.”
While Sawa is all about more Final Destination films, he reiterated that it’s unlikely he’ll be making an appearance.
“If you’re asking whether I am joining the franchise again, I wouldn’t place your bet on that.”
A reboot of Final Destination shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to fans, considering the franchise was wildly profitable for New Line after the first film launched in 2000. The original Final Destination made $122 million around the globe on just a $23 million budget. Over the course of 11 years, Final Destination made almost $700 million at the box office.
