Syfy’s “Tremors” Pilot Has a Genre Friendly Director!
Not only is Kevin Bacon returning his Tremors character for the new Syfy series of the same name, but they’ve just landed one hell of a director.
Vincenzo Natali is going to direct the Syfy pilot “Tremors”, a reboot of the 1990 cult classic film, Deadline reports. Natali previously directed cult classics Cube and Splice, while also dabbling in NBC’s “Hannibal”, as well as HBO’s “Westworld”, Starz’s “American Gods”, and FX’s “The Strain”.
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.
In the wake of his third movie Nope back in 2022, Jordan Peele is producing something of a spiritual follow-up to the sci-fi/horror movie with an upcoming docuseries for Peacock.
Deadline reports this afternoon that the docuseries project from Peacock and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions aims to “dismantle the whitewashed mythology of the cowboy.”
The site details in today’s exclusive report, “The series is inspired by themes from his movie Nope, which starred Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer as horse-wrangling siblings attempting to capture evidence of a UFO in Agua Dulce, California.”
Additionally, “The docuseries will rewrite a foundational piece of American history, unmasking the forces that erased the identity of the Black cowboy from frontier history and present.”
Keith McQuirter (By Whatever Means Necessary: The Godfather of Harlem) is the showrunner, director and executive producer of the docuseries, which doesn’t yet have a title.
“Nope gave a nod to the deep history of Black cowboys in America, and this docuseries offers a full exploration of their lives and contributions to today’s cultural landscape,” said Pearlena Igbokwe, Chairman, Universal Studio Group. “Told through the singular lens of Jordan Peele, this series is every bit as entertaining as it is enriching.
“It’s been a thrill for UTAS to collaborate with Jordan, Monkeypaw, Keith and the team on what is a truly special project, and we’re excited to share it with fans.”
