[Movie Script]Final Destination

"FINAL DESTINATION"



Originally Called "FLIGHT 180"
By James Wong and Glen Morgan
January 15, 1999
Awaiting......each of us; a cold...dark...lonely place.

Deny its finality. Deride its totality. Dread the inescapable

inevitability......it will arrive.
The BLACK SILENT SCREEN senses this moment before a distant blues harp introduces a contemporary band's cover of Blood, Sweat, and Tears' campy, yet haunting, gospel, "And When I Die."
As the Introduction closes, RESONATES... A FLASH OF LIGHTING!

A CRACK OF THUNDER!

"And When I Die" Continues throughout the MAIN TITLES:
