Source: Warner BrosShantel VanSanten plays Lori Milligan in the upcoming Warner Bros Film, "The Final Destination", a character who the actress insists is no damsel in distress. "Lori is strong," she says. "She supports Nick, her boyfriend played by Bobby Campo, through these terrible visions that he's having and tries to help him figure out the pattern so they can save the others and themselves."
Prior to taking on the role, the actress had never seen any of the "Final Destination" films. "I'm a big scaredy cat," VanSanten confesses. "Most of the time when I watch scary movies, I cover my eyes and leave just a little space between my fingers to look through." Nevertheless, she can appreciate the distinct appeal of this particular series. "There's a mystery here--Death is seeking out certain people, and you don't know exactly why, or how it's going to happen, or in what order. So there's an element of surprise that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time thinking, 'Is this person going to die? Is it his time?'"
"It's like solving a puzzle," relates VanSanten. "We're trying to figure out the logic in Death's plan and convince those on his list that he's coming for them. But to unravel the pattern of who's going to get killed next and to get there before it's too late...it's a race against time."
