Final Destination: Bloodlines
A teenage girl has recurring nightmares of a tower collapse in the 1960s. She
discovers that these nightmares are a premonition she inherited from her
grandmother. The grandmother predicted the collapse of the building and saved a
group of people from death. Decades later, the granddaughter begins to have
visions of her family members dying. She realizes that there is a sequence and
must fight to prevent Death from reclaiming her family's bloodline. The official
script by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick
has been rumoured to preserve some elements of the early treatment, including
death scenes, but now follows an original story involving the effect of Death's
design on surviving family bloodlines.
