Trailer Surfaces For Syfy’s “Tremors” Series

Last month we were saddened to have to report that Syfy had killed their plans to air the “Tremors” television series starring Kevin Bacon. Now, somehow, the trailer for the pilot has found its way onto the net and it makes us even more bummed that the series isn’t happening. While the plot for the show was kept mostly under wraps we do know that it was meant to be a continuation of the original film with Bacon reprising his role as Val McKee in Perfection, Nevada. Fred Ward would have reprised his role as Earl Bassett. P.J. Byrne (Rampage), Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead), and Emily Tremaine (The Blacklist) were set to co-star. The pilot episode was directed by Vincenzo Natali, the director of both Cube and Splice. Andrew Miller (The Secret Circle) wrote the script. Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think.

An Update On The Upcoming Tremors Series

It’s been a while since it was announced that the giant graboids are back for anther round in an upcoming ‘Tremors’ series. News has been slim since Kevin Bacon revealed he would be reprising his role as Valentine “Val” McKee, one half of the duo who fought the hungry critters in the 1990 cult classic. Bacon will not only be starring in the new series, he’ll also be serving as executive producer. Unfortunately, Bacon didn’t appear in any of the sequels. They just were not the same without him. Bacon told Collider, “They went and made a bunch of sequels to the movie. I want to put those aside because, first of all, I wasn’t in them.” It sounds as if the series will be a direct spin-off of the original film. The good news is, ‘Tremors’ is currently in development. No premiere date or network has been revealed at this time. Blumhouse is currently shopping the series to multiple
