Mary and Ryan Reach their "Final Destination"
Feb 7, 2006 - Lynn Barker
Young actors Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Sky High) and Ryan Merriman (Halloween 8: Resurrection) were both in The Ring 2...but they never met. He was the unlucky dude who watched that tape and got killed in the opening teaser and she played Sissy Spacek in a flashback. Both actors get a kick out of publicity that says they're 'together again in Final Destination 3', the scary third installment of the popular 'death's gonna getcha' horror franchise.

For our chat recently in L.A.'s Culver City area, the twenty-something actors looked casual and relaxed in each other's company. Mary wore a cute brown BCBG dress that complimented her long auburn hair. Ryan kicked back in a gray tee with stenciled lions on it and jeans. The duo talked about their future film projects and revealed their favorite "death" scenes in the film, fun on set, accidents on set and how the awesome roller coaster scenes were shot...over and over again. In the film, Mary is the gal with the weird death premonitions so we wanted to know we were safe.....
TeenHollywood: If you have any premonitions, we're leaving.
Mary: Good idea.
Ryan: I don't know. That lamp behind you looks questionable.
TeenHollywood: Do you love or hate roller coasters in real life?
Ryan: I love 'um.
