Final Destination proved to be a surprise smash hit thanks to its simple but ingenious premise, the creativity of its deaths, and by refraining from showing Death as a flesh and blood killer, but rather depicting it as an unstoppable force of nature. Ironically enough, X-Files veterans Glen Morgan and James Wong would board the project as writer and director, respectively, and helped shape what the movie would become. Reddick never actually submitted this concept to the show and was instead encouraged to develop it as an original movie. Following this near miss, Death itself seems to stalk him to redress the balance. Death is back in fashion thanks to the upcoming Final Destination 6, but what can audiences expect from the new revival? Final Destination started life as a spec script for an episode of The X-Files by creator Jeffrey Reddick, under the title “Flight 180.” This version had Scully’s younger brother having a premonition that a plane he was about to board was going to crash, which it does after he refuses to board.
