Is Tony Todd part of this [addition]?

Tony Todd is not necessarily part of that dynamic, but Tony Todd has more in this movie, than any of the other movies combined. He has more to do in this movie, which is kind of great, because it's Tony Todd, and he's awesome and we were very glad to get him back and to integrate him as successfully as we had in this version.

Are you surprised by the longevity of this series?

When you call a movie Final Destination, yes, I'm surprised it went beyond there, but I think we were also surprised and pleased by it. Bob Shaye, founder of New Line, was really the only one, even when we were shooting, [who thought] there was maybe a franchise potential in this. To his credit, he was right, [because] here we are twelve years doing this crazy stuff. 

With the last one, everyone thinks it's the last film, at what point, was it opening weekend or was it two weeks later, did you get the call, "Hey, maybe a fifth one?"

That's a good question. There was this sense of "No more, the last hurrah" and the movie opened very well, in no small part to Warners marketing. They did a great job positioning the movie and having the courage to go head-to-head with Halloween 2 and winning. They really believed in the movie and believed they had a better audience experience on their hands. For me, it was the Monday afterwards, I started thinking, "I want to be prepared if this question comes up." It didn't come, actually for awhile. Everyone was like "Oh, wow, it did great. That's great. Whew!" And then it kind of percolated, and then the international numbers started coming in. That's what tipped the balance. The international numbers were staggering. It made $208 million worldwide. A massive, massive hit.
