Destination Unknown?

Eric Heisserer, the writer of the upcoming prequel to The Thing has been hired to write the 5th Final Destination film says the Heat Vision Blog

The goal of the newest installment is , according to the trade, "trying to break out of the repetition of the first four movies". And the only thing we know of the plan for Final Destination 5 is that "one scene involves a character undergoing laser-eye surgery".

Ouch!

The plan is to release the film in 3-D like The Final Destination (pictured) and to have ready for a 2011 release.

As I have said before the series is guilty pleasure of mine and let's face it since most of the characters end up dead--the studio gets off cheap not having to bump up anyone's sequel salary. Breaking the formula of the series will be tough since that's part of the reason it's one of my guilty pleasures.
