And now, according to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/new-final-destination-7-finds-its-director-1236392818\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:THR;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">THR<\/a>, it looks like they&#8217;ve found the right director for the job.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While an official deal has yet to be made, all signs point to Michiel Blanchart as the person New Line has chosen for the job. Hailing from Belgium, Blanchart is a relative newcomer, but he made waves in his homeland with his feature film debut, Night Call (Le nuit se traine), a gritty crime thriller that won 11 prizes at the Magritte Awards, the Belgian Oscars. If all goes well, Final Destination 7 will turn Blanchart from a Belgian hometown hero into an international horror icon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I loved Final Destination: Bloodlines, and a big part of that was due to the directing. How do I know this? Because I was visiting my brother in Ukraine at the time, and we saw the movie in Ukrainian, with no English subtitles, and I don&#8217;t speak a word of Ukrainian. Even so, I had a great time with the movie. As such, I&#8217;m a little nervous that directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein aren&#8217;t returning, but I&#8217;m always excited to see what a new director can bring to a long-running series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Final Destination 7 is currently without a release date, but I bet we&#8217;ll learn about casting soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tvsquad.com\/movies\/final-destination-7-in-early-development-bloodlines-co-scribe-lori-evans-taylor-returning-to-write\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Final Destination 7 In Early Development, Bloodlines Co-Scribe Lori Evans Taylor Returning To Write;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Related: Final Destination 7 In Early Development, Bloodlines Co-Scribe Lori Evans Taylor Returning To Write<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Final Destination series was considered dead and buried after the financial underperformance of Final Destination 5, but if the movies taught us anything, it&#8217;s that Death never quits.
