'Final Destination 5' Star Miles Fisher Makes Viral Short To Promote The Movie's Mayhem

Mike Flemingpost thumbnail Deadline has written about the humorous short film exploits of Miles Fisher, who played the superagent in the spoof Pinkberry: The Movie, and starred in other shorts that included an American Psycho musical parody. All this came before Fisher got his first big movie lead in Final Destination 5, and a supporting role in J. Edgar. Just because he's gone legit doesn't mean Fisher has left parodies in his past. In fact, after he went to Warner Bros with an ideal for a short that could help spread awareness of its upcoming Final Destination, the studio gave him the money to make the film. Fisher put together his American Psycho producer Jake Avnet and director Dave Green and they've made New Romance. It's a short that manages to keep the body count high� and it looks to me like some horrifying homage to Saved By The Bell. Check it out:

Hosted by the City of Celebration, the event featured a Sidewalk Sale and “Sales” Survivor Treasure Hunt, as well as an autograph signing and a “Survivor Party” at the Celebration Town Tavern, with all funds raised through the autograph signing and party donated to GKTW.

More than 75 stars – including Russell Hantz (CBS’s “Survivor Samoa”), Trent Garrett (ABC’s “All My Children”), Maiara Walsh (“Desperate Housewives”), Jareb Dauplaise (“Transformers 2”, MTV’s “The Hard Times of RJ Berger”), Liz Lee (MTV’s “My Life As Liz”) and Ryan Anderson (Orlando Magic Forward) and girlfriend Gia Allemand (ABC’s “The Bachelor”) – made a special visit to GKTW on Friday to tour the resort and meet some of the wish children and their families. Attired with tiaras and swords, the stars enjoyed a poolside princesses and pirates party with the GKTW wish families.

“Give Kids the World is an amazing non-profit that provides children with life-threatening illnesses and their families a week to forget about the harsh realities that they are faced with on a daily basis,” said actress Maiara Walsh (ABC’s "Desperate Housewives). “You can see the ease and joy in their smiles as they wander through the impeccably crafted wonderland that is ‘The Village’.”

“We are so appreciative that these stars are using their fame to help us raise awareness for Give Kids The World,” said Public Relations Manager Colette Krahenbuhl. “We rely fully on the donations that we receive in order to provide cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, so it’s really important that we get our name out there.”

The event raised over $10,000 for GKTW, which will help the charity continue its 25-year history of providing cost-free, Orlando vacations to more than 110,000 children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.

Spotlight: Oceana's Celebrity Supporters

Protecting the world’s oceans.

Oceana campaigns to protect and restore the world’s oceans. Its teams of marine scientists, economists, lawyers and advocates win specific and concrete policy changes to reduce pollution and to prevent the irreversible collapse of fish populations, marine mammals and other sea life. Global in scope and dedicated to conservation, Oceana’s campaigners are based in North America (Washington, DC; New York, NY; Boston, MA; St. Petersburg, FL; Juneau and Anchorage, AK; Monterey, CA; and Portland, OR), Europe (Madrid, Spain; Brussels, Belgium) and South America (Santiago, Chile). Recently, the US Government — after campaigning by Oceana — adopted the Oceana approach and closed 1.8 million square kilometers of Pacific ocean to destructive trawling, an area more than four times the size of California. Oceana was prominently featured in the 2008 Green Issue of Vanity Fair, and was also named last year by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine as a “charity that deserves your dollars.”

In 2001, Oceana merged with the American Ocean’s Campaign (AOC), which was founded in 1987 by Ted Danson.

Celebrity supporters

Oceana has 22 known supporters, including Pierce Brosnan, Adrian Grenier, and Morgan Freeman
