Kevin Bacon Explains the Appeal of a ‘Tremors’ Return

Published

on

A few years back it was reported that Kevin Bacon, who played “Valentine McKee” in Ron Underwood’s 1990 classic Tremors, would be acting as executive producer and would also be starring in a “Tremors’ series. In the film, natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one.

While he told fans during a reddit AMA session “we are working on that!” Digital Spy got some more information, including the reason why he’s drawn to the character.

“We’re still chipping away at that! I can honestly say it’s not dead yet,” he told the site.

He continued: “Someone asked me once, ‘Are there any characters you’ve ever played where you’d be interested in revisiting?’, and that’s really the only one. And I’ve had a lot of characters. The thing is, to me what’s interesting about that guy, is that he was doing nothing, working as a handyman.

“And then because of this extraordinary circumstance, he gets to become a hero! So, what happens after you’ve become an accidental hero? 25 years later. And that’s the thing we want to explore in this series.”

But what are the chances of past characters like Earl (Fred Ward) and Burt (Michael Gross) making a comeback?

“I don’t know, that kinda remains to be seen!”

Meanwhile, a sixth Tremors film is coming to VOD January 30, 2018, via Universal Home Entertainment. Franchise star Michael “Burt Gummer” Gross is returning once again, which could mean we could see him make an appearance in the series, assuming it ever gets off the ground. Being that we’re entering the streaming age of entertainment, it seems like a no-brainer to bring Bacon back for a long-form storyline on an Amazon, Netflix or Hulu.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights. SCREAMBOX is investigating with the addition of several docs, all streaming now on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service. Here’s the breakdown:
