As the Final Destination franchise marks its 20th anniversary this month, series producer Craig Perry has revealed what's in store for the planned new instalment.

The reboot was announced back in January 2019, with Saw writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunst working on a script - the plot of which promised a re-imagining of the iconic film series.

Since then, we've not heard much by way of development - but now producer Craig Perry has revealed they're working on a new movie, and even teased specific ideas for what the new film would focus on.

Each film in the franchise involves a group of teens cheating death, before they're killed one by one in gruesome and inventive scenarios.

In an interview with Digital Spy, Perry said: "We're toying with having it take place in the world of first responders: EMTs, firemen, and police. These people deal with death on the front lines every day and make choices that can cause people to live or die.

"We rely on their good judgment, expertise, and calm demeanor. So why not put those people in the nightmare situation where every choice can bring about life and death - but now for themselves?

"We're thinking that world might be an interesting way into a Final Destination movie, and one which can also generate unique set pieces in a very credible way."

The hugely popular horror franchise features a total of five films, the most recent of which was released back in 2011.

All five movies follow a small group of people, as one person has a sudden premonition that they will all die in an accident.

After being told the unnerving news the group manages to avoid the impending accident, but death soon catches up with them as each person is killed off one-by-one in strange and grueseome scenarios.

It doesn't sound very fun, but trust me, the films are the perfect watch for thrill-seekers.

While the new movie is not expected to tie into the original movie, series creator Jeffrey Reddick has promised it will still feel like a Final Destination flick.

Reddick told the entertainment site: "I've been talking to Craig and the concept behind it is unique.

"I think reboot is probably too strong of a word, it makes it sound like they're going to change everything, but it's definitely a Final Destination movie.

"Craig is the master of coming up with crazy openings and set pieces. He's told me a couple of things that happen in this one and it's going to be a lot of fun. It's not going feel like cash-grab Final Destination film."
