Speaking about the experience, co-director Lipovsky said, “The most thrilling part of making a Final Destination movie is that it’s a Final Destination movie. You’re part of this franchise, this history, that has touched culture for the last 25 years.”He highlighted how the franchise has become a cultural reference point, with people describing strange occurrences in real life as a “Final Destination moment.”Stein shared insights into the filmmaking process, praising the team’s commitment to practical effects. “One of the most exciting things about making Bloodlines was all the practical effects and stunts we were able to do. We built the giant restaurant… and then we blew it up,” he said.Lipovsky added, “We built a cabin in the woods, and then we blew it up.”Despite the franchise’s strong legacy and positive word of mouth, Bloodlines now faces a crucial weekend as it aims to maintain momentum with the release of Tom Cruise' Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning which hits Indian cinemas on May 17, a week ahead of its global release.
