Fri May 09 02:50:00 UTC 2025: ## 71-Year-Old Sets World Record for On-Fire Stunt in New “Final Destination” Film

**Los Angeles, CA** – The upcoming “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is making headlines not only for its thrilling premise but also for setting a truly unique record. The sixth installment in the horror franchise, hitting theaters May 16th, features a groundbreaking stunt performed by 71-year-old Yvette Ferguson. Ferguson, pulled from retirement for the role, endured a full-body burn for a large-scale fire sequence set within a Sky Tower, a scene described by directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein as “the oldest person ever on fire, on camera.”

While Guinness World Records confirmation is pending, the stunt highlights the film’s ambition. The Sky Tower fire sequence serves as the film’s central premonition, promising a spectacle to rival, or even surpass, the bridge collapse in “Final Destination 5.” The film also introduces a new storyline centered on a college student whose nightmares unravel a family secret connected to a deadly premonition, diverging slightly from the franchise’s established formula. Veteran actor Tony Todd makes one of his final screen appearances as William Bludworth.

The film’s trailer has already generated significant buzz, ranking as the second-most-watched horror trailer of all time. With its high-octane action and a unique take on the “Final Destination” mythos, the film is poised for a successful box office run.
