Brec Bassinger Teases Final Destination Movie With Striking Comparison Post

Brec Bassinger is building anticipation for her upcoming role in the new Final Destination film with a humorous yet chilling social media post that perfectly captures the franchise’s essence.

The actress took to Instagram to share a striking side-by-side comparison that has fans doing a double-take. “I see no difference…” Bassinger captioned the post, which shows what appears to be a before-and-after image sequence. In the images, Bassinger’s face is shown in two states that look eerily similar, playing on the film’s themes of inevitable fate and deadly premonitions.

25 Days And Counting

“25 days til @finaldestinationmovie in @imax 🔥,” the actress added to her post, reminding fans that the long-awaited return of the iconic horror franchise is just weeks away. The film is set to premiere exclusively in IMAX theaters on May 16, giving the notorious death sequences the grand-scale treatment they deserve.

This isn’t the first time Bassinger has promoted the upcoming horror film. Just last month, she shared another post related to Final Destination, wishing the production good luck and including hashtags like “#FinalDestination #Bloodlines” along with a reminder that it was “#FilmedforIMAX.”

About The New Final Destination

While full plot details remain under wraps, the new installment, reportedly titled “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” will be the sixth film in the popular horror series. The franchise is known for its premise of characters who cheat death, only to have death stalk them in increasingly creative and gruesome ways to restore the natural order.

The original Final Destination film was released in 2000 and quickly developed a cult following, spawning multiple sequels with the last one, Final Destination 5, hitting theaters in 2011. After a 13-year hiatus, fans are eager to see how the franchise will evolve for modern audiences.

Who Is Brec Bassinger?

For those who may not be familiar with Bassinger, the 24-year-old actress first gained recognition on Nickelodeon’s “Bella and the Bulldogs” and has since become known for her lead role as Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl in DC’s “Stargirl” series, which ran for three seasons.

Born in Saginaw, Texas, Bassinger began her career in entertainment after winning the Little Miss World pageant in 2009. She has built a steady career in television and film, with roles in shows like “School of Rock” and “The Goldbergs” before landing her superhero role.

The actress recently celebrated her 25th birthday, sharing a collection of photos on Instagram with the caption, “You know what’s better than 24? ⁠25. Happy New Year 💛.” Her social media presence shows her enjoying various adventures, from trips to Costa Rica to fashion weeks and winter sports in Colorado.

What To Expect From The Imax Experience

The decision to release Final Destination exclusively in IMAX theaters initially points to the filmmakers’ confidence in delivering spectacular visual sequences deserving of the premium format. Bassinger’s emphasis on the film being “#FilmedforIMAX” suggests that the death sequences—a hallmark of the franchise—may be more elaborate and visually striking than ever before.

The Final Destination series has always been known for its intricate Rube Goldberg-like death sequences where everyday objects and scenarios transform into deadly traps. With IMAX’s enhanced visual and audio capabilities, audiences can expect these scenes to be even more immersive and impactful.

For Bassinger, this role represents a significant pivot from her superhero persona in “Stargirl” to the horror genre, showcasing her range as an actress. Her engagement with fans through social media countdown posts demonstrates her excitement about the project and helps build anticipation for the release.

As the countdown continues, horror fans and followers of the Final Destination franchise have just over three weeks to prepare for what promises to be a return to form for one of horror’s most distinctive concepts—the idea that death has a design that cannot be escaped.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the series or new to the concept, Bassinger’s enthusiasm suggests that this new installment will deliver the shocking surprises and tense moments that made the original films so memorable. Mark your calendars for May 16 when Final Destination returns exclusively to IMAX theaters.
