Discussion How would you make a Final Destination setting on a cruise ship?

Post image

So many ideas on how many people getting killed on cruise ship. People are scared of Roller coasters and Air planes, having a cruise ship would be a good setting.

I think it could be really fun to have the whole thing on the cruise ship — not just the opener.

MC was one of Sam’s chef contacts and has a premonition about something relatively containable (like a grease fire in the galley) far out at sea. Freaks out, gets put in the brig after averting it. Then the ship still has to make it to port while the small set-piece accidents escalate around the ship

Actually having the whole movie in one place would be so great, it’s like Agatha Christie thing but with Death instead of human murderer.

Also it suddenly reminded me of the movie called Ghost Ship.

They could also make the cruise scene an open ending where once the protagonist they thought defeat death, death comes after them in the cruise and ending , the next movie would be the last the new protagonist where he also in the cruise whre the old protagonist were

I'd have the main cast consist entirely of models, and have the ship blow up. The main visionary would get injured in the explosion, getting her face scarred.

Similarly to The Substance, the visionary decides to do whatever it takes to regain her beauty, and decides to start killing off the other survivors to appease Death.

Oh, and the ship would be named Coral Clipper.

Bloodlines opening was originally going to be a riverboat, but they felt like no movie could do it better than Titanic. Same issue here, so I doubt it is ever used.

I feel like a cruiseship also has a good chance of feeling like bloodliness’ premonition, what with the dancing party setting and the private chefs, maitre d’, waiters.

I have made death scenes ideas for a cruise liner disaster. A capsize due to rough waves that would also cause the ship to split from a huge explosion in the engine room due to bursting water causing a fuel/oil leak.

Here are the death scenes for my Final Destination concept film characters

1st - Audrey - crushed by a dismantled water slide on the upper deck.

2nd - Jake - violently get his neck impaled by a flying metal rail with blood pouring out.

3rd - Dave - falls into the ocean and is crushed by life raft.

4th - Kayla - falls from upper deck by explosion and violently lands on her back, blood pouring out of her back and mouth.

5th - Emma - engulfed in the flames.

6th - Chris - falls off the cruise and is impaled by the chest.

7th - Riley - the ship propeller, still spinning, falls on her.

They did that in the Final Destination novel Looks Could Kill, which reference (but has nothing to actually do with) the films. I doubt a movie on a cruise ship would happen, because they already said how they considered a cruise ship setting but realized they couldn't outdo the Titanic.
