Final destination: BloodLines directors have beaten the world record for the oldest person set

When it comes to overcoming death, Final destination: blood lines He is not playing safe. As a sixth film in the long horror franchise, it does not only aim to provide creatively gruesome killings, but sets fire to fire.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Co-Directors Zach Lipovsky AND Adam Stein He revealed that one of the craziest moments of the film entailed the lighting of the 71 -year -old former stuntwoman Yvette Ferguson in flames. Lipovsky said:

“We lit so many different people on flames, including the world record for the oldest person in flames with Yvette Ferguson, who made that full burning of the body in the silver dress. That was the oldest person ever on fire, on the camera.”

Ferguson, who came out of the pension to play the unfortunate Mrs. Fuller, is burned during the opening sequence of the film’s film, which is located in a restaurant in the 1960s on top of the 400 -foot tower SkyView plate.

With glass floors and a panoramic view, the towering death trap is a callback for structures of the real world such as the Torre tower of Toronto, except that this is about to be consumed by the fire, in the fall of debris and panic. And Mrs. Fuller is at the center of the scene in a fiery exit.

Brec Bassingerwho plays Iris in the film was on the set for the historic burning of Ferguson. He said:

“Oh, I was on the set when they lit her on fire!

According to the directors, that wild opening disaster scene, which presents the signature of the Domino Effect Chaos franchise has taken almost half of the production time of the film to shoot.

He involved seven separate sets and a real replica of the 100 -foot restaurant, built to be staggering and safe for a huge fire sequence. Lipovsky said:

“We had to build the thing basically for concrete. It was not only built to look incredibly beautiful, but it was built to be incredibly robust, as far as it had enormous quantities of ignifugues. It was so hot that you could not be in that set. You had to be very far away.”

The staircase was so crazy that the floors also had to be inclined and rotated half a shooting. Bassinger herself was raised in the air on the threads while the restaurant “divided halfway” on the screen. “The risk of literally falling, honestly, helped me to act because at some point I didn’t even recite,” he admitted.

It is this uncompromising and practical approach that defines the final destination: the bloodlines. Lipovsky added:

“One of the special things of the final destination that I don’t think it really exists elsewhere is that you get that staircase. Get that Hollywood disaster film, but with an extremely rare tone, which is very rare. Get that show by Roland Emmerich, but see people explode and read on the fire and leave in their dead, and do not cut off.”

If death is inevitable, at least the final destination knows how to make it wildly fun. Final destination: blood lines It opens in cinemas on May 16th.
