Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) September 16, 2005 -- Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ryan Merriman star in Final Destination 3, an action-packed horror film shot in 3D with innovative Cooke S4
Prime Lenses.
After a high school senior, Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), has a fatal premonition of a disastrous roller-coaster accident that involves her and her friends, she warns everyone and luckily gets herself and many of her friends off the roller coaster just before it sets off. The roller coaster starts off and crashes just like in her premonition. Soon she teams up with friends, Kevin Fischer (Ryan Merriman) as well as many other people who try and cheat death. Will they succeed or will they learn a lesson that you cant cheat death?
In the thrilling roller coaster disaster scene the filmmakers used a combination of an actual roller coaster at a Vancouver amusement park, computer-generated extensions, wire stunts, computer animation and actual actors in simulated cars shot against a green screen. Robert MacLachian, Director of Photography, captured the fast paced-action through Cooke S4 Prime lenses.
