There's no denying the thrill of a new Final Destination movie hitting the theaters, and fans are buzzing about the sixth installment, Final Destination: Bloodlines. This latest addition to the iconic franchise features the legendary Tony Todd, known for his chilling portrayal of the original Candyman. In a poignant moment, Todd delivers an unscripted monologue that has left audiences deeply moved. According to producer Craig Perry, this speech was a spontaneous outpouring from Todd, making his final appearance in the film series "very bittersweet."
Perry shared insights in a recent interview with Deadline, reflecting on both the new film and his journey with the franchise since its inception in 2000. He noted, "We all knew that he was obviously quite ill. And it was pretty clear that this was going to be the last role he would play in a movie, and the fact that it was one of the Final Destination movies made it that much more poignant."
Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein took a bold step during the filming of Todd's scene. They chose to deviate from the script, allowing Todd to speak directly from the heart. Perry explained, "Our directors, they made a very shrewd decision to take the last couple of lines that were scripted and said, 'Tony, just, just say what you would want to say to the fans. What would you like to impart to them in this moment?'" The authenticity of Todd's words, speaking directly to the camera and to the fans who have supported him over the years, created a truly emotional and magical moment on set. Perry emphasized the impact of this scene, saying, "It was an impactful moment, and it’s one I’ll take with me until I go to the grave."
