“Tremors” Coming to TV and Kevin Bacon is Returning!
Here’s another thing to give thanks for on Thursday! Universal Cable Productions is working to make a TV series of “Tremors” and the word is that Kevin Bacon, who starred in the original 1990 film, will be returning not only as an executive producer but also will star in the series!
The original film produced four direct-to-video sequels, including the brand new Tremors 5, and a 13-episode TV series aired in 2003 on SciFi.
This new series will be written by Andrew Miller and Bacon is confirmed to be reprising his role as Valentine McKee, according to EW. Bacon previously stated that he’d love to return to the role.
Who’s ready for more graboid action??
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
