Bacon tells Esquire: “It was one film of mine that I wanted to revisit that character. I don’t look back at all. In fact, Tremors is the only movie of mine that I have rewatched since it’s come out.”
He continues on about the abandoned Tremors TV series: “We were around the 25-year anniversary. I went to Blumhouse, and they were totally into the idea. Universal didn’t want to remake it as a feature and also maybe because it didn’t work as a feature the first time. So we put it aside. Then they came back to me and said, ‘What would you think about doing it as a series?’”
He adds: “I would still love to do it, believe me. Maybe it needs to be the 30th anniversary or the 35th. We’ll keep going.”
Ron Underwood directed the creature-feature classic co-starring Fred Ward and Reba McEntire. S.S. Wilson & Brent Maddock (Short Circuit) wrote the script.
The film follows good-ol’-boy handymen Val (Bacon) and Earl (Ward) who are sick of their dead-end jobs in Perfection, Nevada. Just as they’re about to escape Perfection forever, however, things start to get really weird: half-eaten corpses litter the road out of town; the phone lines stop working, and a plucky young scientist shows evidence of unusually strong seismic activity in the area. Something is coming for the citizens of Perfection… and it’s under the goddamn ground!
Tremors sports an 86% over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: An affectionate throwback to 1950s creature features, Tremors reinvigorates its genre tropes with a finely balanced combination of horror and humor.
