The latest installment in the horror franchise Final Destination has finally arrived, and it marks a poignant conclusion to the series for the late Tony Todd. In this sixth film, Todd reprises his iconic role as William Bludworth, a mortician with an uncanny understanding of Death's plan. The film's directors, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, had a clear vision for how they wanted to pay tribute to Todd, who passed away in November last year.
According to Lipovsky, the decision to include Todd in the film was made from the outset. "We knew from while we were developing that he was sick," Lipovsky explained in an interview with io9 in Los Angeles. "So it was developed with that in mind, with him. At first, we were worried that he wouldn’t want to be in it or that he wouldn’t be able to be in it. But he was so excited to be in the movie." The film's writers worked closely with Todd to craft a story that would honor his character and allow him to give a fitting sendoff.
The scene that has generated significant buzz among fans is one in which Bludworth says goodbye to the audience, speaking directly to them about the preciousness of life. This moment was particularly meaningful for Todd, who had been grappling with his own mortality in the months leading up to filming. "He’s speaking directly to the audience there," Stein noted. "And I think it takes a lot of people by surprise how much emotion they feel in that moment."
The impact of this scene is not lost on fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express their gratitude for Todd's contribution to the film. The inclusion of this emotional farewell has undoubtedly added depth and resonance to Final Destination Bloodlines, making it a fitting tribute to the late actor.
Final Destination Bloodlines opens in theaters this weekend, providing an opportunity for audiences to experience Tony Todd's final performance on the big screen. As fans continue to process the significance of this scene, one thing is clear: the legacy of Tony Todd lives on through his unforgettable portrayal of William Bludworth.
