Before it became the iconic horror franchise we know today, Final Destination began as a spec script for The X-Files—written by a young, determined fan named Jeffrey Reddick.

🔥 At just 14 years old, Reddick sent his first script to New Line Cinema. Instead of brushing him off, they encouraged him to keep writing. Years later, he would sell the concept that would become Final Destination, forever changing the landscape of 2000s horror.

🧠 What started as a single idea—“what if someone cheated death and it came back for them?”—turned into a billion-dollar franchise.
