During a fan interview on The Huffington Post, Bacon was questioned about the cult favorite hit. His answer was pretty surprising. “I have a real dream right now. I want to reboot [Tremors],” says Bacon of the film which is getting the reboot treatment from Don Michael Paul (Lake Placid: The Final Chapter).
Given his next comments we can only assume that he wants to reprise his role and NOT reboot the film as a director or what not. “To see the character 25 years down the line. Seeing what that guy may have become. When I started thinking about this, I hadn’t seen the movie in 25 years so I went back and watched it recently. I was pleasantly surprised. It was still really cool.”
Check out the entire interview below.
As reported earlier, the film will be more of a sequel than a complete remake with Michael Gross reprising the role of monster-killer Burt Gummer. Gross has to date appeared in every film in the franchise and even the short-lived TV series it spawned.
The new film, tentatively titled Tremors 5, is currently casting for a September kick-off in South Africa.
