Final Destination‘s Devon Sawa had a strange coincidence occur on the 19th anniversary of the popular thriller film.
Sawa’s character in the film, Alex Browning, has a premonition of his airplane exploding while about to embark on a trip to Paris. Browning convinces six other passengers to exit the plane before takeoff, and they watch as his premonition comes true.
Having cheated death, he and the others are then in danger of suffering gruesome deaths after outrunning their fate. The movie was released on March 17, 2000, a freaky coincidence for Sawa, 40, who found himself on a plane that same day 19 years later.
“Final Destination came out 20 years ago today… I’m on flight 317 … 3/17? March 17th?!! What the fu…..,” he tweeted, calculating the anniversary date wrong by a year.
Seth Rogen shared he had auditioned for a role in the film, as well as his shock at the length of time that had passed since it’s release.
