David R. Ellis is coming back to New Line for more death, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The director has signed to direct and develop Final Destination 4, the latest installment of New Line’s popular horror series, which the studio plans to shoot in 3-D.

The premise of the series is that even if you cheat death once, a force that is death itself will stalk you until it finishes what is started, usually in a gruesome fashion. While plot details for Final Destination 4 are being kept under wraps, the movie will stand alone: It will feature new teens facing new forms of death.

The script was written by Eric Bress, who co-wrote Final Destination 2.

Ellis directed the second installment, which was praised for its elaborately orchestrated killings.

New Line’s Richard Brener and Walter Hamada are overseeing the project, which has no start date.

The Final Destination films have been solid performers for New Line since they debuted in 2000. The first film grossed $53.3 million, the 2003 sequel made $46.5 million and the third, released in 2006, collected $54 million. The movies usually are made for at least half that and do well on home video.
