Tremors TV Reboot in the Works
Star of the original 1990 movie's dreams are coming true as he returns to the franchise
Kevin Bacon admitted he had actually wanted to return to world of Tremors saying:
'' I'd love to do something else with Tremors and revisit the character 25 years later. Part of what's great about that movie is there are next to no digital effects. The monsters are done with puppetry, and it's still off, funny and scary - it's a cool accomplishment."
EW reports that Universal Cable Productions and Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions are currently developing the reboot series. No network is officially attached, but “multiple bidders” appear to be interested in getting western horror back.
Bacon will be reprising his role as sarcastic handyman Valentine McKee, with Andrew Miller (The Secret Circle) onboard to provide the script. The potential series would see the action return to Perfection, Nevada.
This isn’t the first time the graboids have wormed their way onto television. SciFi ran Tremors: The Series for one season in 2003. Including the recent Tremors 5: Bloodlines, there have been four DTV sequels to the cult classic, including a prequel entitled Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. Michael Gross is the only actor to appear in every incarnation of Tremors — as no-BS hunter Burt Gummer (and his ancestor in Tremors 4), but there’s no word yet on if he’ll be returning for this new series.
