Following up on our initial Final Destination 5 casting announcement here and our report that Tony Todd would be returning to the franchise here we have 4 additional casting announcements today. Death is now expecting David Koechner, Nicholas D'Agosto, P.J. Byrne and Ellen Wroe to RSVP ASAP. Full details below.

According to a report from Heat Vision, 'the new movie sees the new batch of victims, co-workers on a corporate retreat, escaping the collapse of a city's suspension bridge'. We already knew about the suspension bridge, but the corporate retreat is a new plot development.

D'Agosto is playing a guy who doesn't make fast decision in his own life.

Byrne plays an obnoxious kleptomaniac.

Wroe plays the daughter of a company executive, a woman with gymnast training who is a little snobby and for whom everything is a contest.

Koechner is playing a clueless executive.

Eric Heisserer (The Thing) wrote the script, and Craig Perry is producing. The Final Destination aka 5nal Destination is set to begin filming in Vancouver Sept. 13.
