WHAT IS ABOUT FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES?
At the center of the movie is a teenage girl who keeps having bad dreams about a 1960s tower falling down. As she learns more, she realizes that her visions are not just dreams, but messages from her grandmother about what will happen. Her grandmother saved lives by predicting a similar disaster.

On May 16, 2025, the movie will be shown in theaters. It stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Brec Bassinger and Tony Todd. Now, let’s talk about the creepy places where this supernatural thriller was filmed.
WHERE WAS FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES FILMED?
FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES began filming on March 4, 2024, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, after an initial delay caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike in mid-2023. The movie’s production was originally scheduled to start on July 31, 2023, and conclude on October 13, 2023, but the strike forced a postponement.
With Christian Sebaldt as the cinematographer, filming officially resumed in early 2024 and wrapped on May 13, 2024.
Vancouver, Canada’s British Columbia
Vancouver, which is known as “Hollywood North,” was the main place where FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES was filmed. The city’s built environment and range of architectural styles made for a great setting for the movie’s intense scenes. Many of the previous movies in the series were also filmed here, adding to Vancouver’s reputation as a top spot for horror and thriller movies.
The city’s creepy alleys, downtown streets, and industrial areas were very important in creating the scary atmosphere of the movie. Key scenes, like scenes of premonitions at night and daring escapes, were filmed in Vancouver’s financial district, which gave the film’s urban horror an unsettling sense of realism.
British Columbia’s Burnaby
As planned, filming was supposed to start on July 17, 2023, in Burnaby, a city close to Vancouver. However, the SAG-AFTRA strike stopped work. When filming started up again in 2024, Burnaby’s soundstages and outdoor locations were very important to the design of the movie’s sets.
Burnaby’s historic neighborhoods stood out because they were turned into the 1960s setting of the grandmother’s dream. The area’s old buildings and period-correct details made the flashback scenes feel like they happened in real life.
TRIVIA ABOUT THE MOVIE FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES
• Tony Todd‘s Last Movie: Tony Todd, the famous ghost actor best known for his role as William Bludworth, finished filming his last movie before he died in 2024. His return to the series gives the movie a nostalgic and creepy feel.
• As a way to get their roles, directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein set up a fake death scene during their Zoom pitch meeting. They faked an accident with a ceiling fan using pre-recorded footage and special effects, which impressed executives at the studio.
• Filming Began Again After a Strike: Production was supposed to start on the movie in July 2023, but the SAG-AFTRA strike pushed it back. Later, filming began again in March 2024 and ended in May 2024.
• 25th Anniversary Link: If the movie comes out in 2025, it will be 25 years to the day that the first Final Destination movie came out in 2000.
• Changes to the Story: The movie was supposed to be about first responders at first, but it was later changed to a story about multiple generations having premonitions.
• A Horror Legacy: The movie’s star, Teo Briones, played Devon Sawa’s son in Chucky, which is a fitting connection since Sawa was in the first Final Destination.
• A fake cast list from 2020 said that Danielle Panabaker, Jared Padalecki, Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Chung were in the movie, which was not true. It was never planned for any of these actors to be in the project.
