Syfy’s “Tremors” Pilot Has a Genre Friendly Director!

In the Tremors follow-up, written by Andrew Miller, the killer Graboid worms that nearly destroyed Perfection, NV, 25 years ago are back, and the town’s only hope for survival is Valentine McKee (Bacon), who beat them once. But to do it again he’ll have to overcome age, alcohol and a delusional hero complex. Miller, who serves as showrunner, executive produces with Bacon, David
Miller, who serves as showrunner, executive produces with Bacon, David Schiff and Jessica Rhoades.
Natali’s Tremors directing gig — his first time helming a pilot — sets a reunion with Miller. The two met in high school, and Miller starred in Natali’s feature directing debut, 1997’s Cube.
The project hails from Jason Blum’s Blumhouse TV and Universal Cable Prods.
