In 1996, Ellis made his debut as a director in the Disney live-action film Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco, and has attained more attention for directing Final Destination 2 (2003), the continuation of the financially successful horror film franchise. He has also directed The Final Destination, which revolves around death stalking audience members of a crash at a motor speedway that sends debris into the stands. Ellis' next work as director, the thriller Cellular, was a moderate success at the box office, which he attributed to competition from Resident Evil and bad marketing. His film Snakes on a Plane gained unusual hype on the Internet. Ellis directed the 3-D natural horror film Shark Night, which is based on a screenplay from Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes.
