Last month, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released thefirst trailerforTremors 5: Bloodlines, which debuts on October 6. This sequel is the latest installment in a long-running franchise that started with the 1990 cult classicTremors, starringKevin Bacon, but the first sequel since 2004’s Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. Kevin Bacon was recently promoting his indie dramaCop Car, which hits theaters this weekend, where the actor revealed he actually wants to rebootTremors.
“I had a real dream right now, which is to reboot it, and to see the character 25 years down the line, to see what that guy may have become. There is an example of a movie that, when I started thinking about it, I hadn’t seen it in 25 years and I went back and watched it recently, I was really pleasantly surprised. It’s a beautiful looking movie, it really is a good film.”
The actor also revealed in a new bookSeeking Perfection: The Unofficial Guide to Tremors(TremorsGuide.com), that Valentine McKee, “is one of the few characters I’ve played that I’d be interested in seeing where he is 25 years later.” With Universal producing theTremors 5: Bloodlinesstraight-to-video sequel, one would be inclined to believe that the studio could be interesting in putting areboottogether, especially withKevin Baconwilling to reprise his role of Valentine McKee. Unfortunately, as the actor revealed in the book, that is not the case, stating, “Universal doesn’t seem to be interested, so it’s moot.”
The originalTremorscenters on a small town where residents are getting killed one by one by a strange creatures that dwells beneath the surface, while, at the same time, a seismologist is working in the area detects tremors. The residents slowly realize that this creature can pop up and kill them at will, leaving them trapped in this town.Fred Ward, Finn Carter,Michael Gross, Reba McEntire, Charlotte Stewart andAriana Richardsalso starred in the originalTremors.
