Kevin Bacon Wraps “Tremors” Filming and Shares Set Photo
For the first time since the original film, Kevin Bacon is returning to Perfection to fight Graboids in Syfy’s “Tremors,” which recently began filming its pilot episode in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Via Bacon himself, we’ve just learned that filming on the pilot wrapped over the weekend.
“So long to New Mexico,” Bacon posted on Instagram. “Had an amazing time shooting this pilot. Hope I can keep walking in these boots.”
At the time of writing this, a full season of the “Tremors” TV series has not yet been ordered by Syfy, which is what Bacon is referring to with that last line.
Along with the text, Bacon shared a photo from the set, which appears to show Valentine McKee bobble-heads up for grabs at a shop in Perfection. After all, McKee is a local hero in the area, so it makes sense that the town would be profiting off his heroism.
You can check out that photo below.
Based on the 1990 film of the same name, “Tremors” picks up 25 years after the killer Graboid worms nearly destroyed the Nevada town of Perfection. Bacon plays Valentine McKee, who beat the sandworms once and will attempt to do it again; but first he’ll have to deal with age, alcohol and a delusional hero complex.
J. Byrne (Final Destination 5), Hunter Parrish (“Weeds”), Ebonée Noel (“Wrecked”), Brandon Jay McLaren (“Ransom”), and Haley Tju (“Bella and the Bulldogs”), Emily Tremaine (“Vinyl”), Megan Ketch (“American Gothic”), Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead), Toks Olagundoye (“Castle”) and John Ellison Conlee (“Boardwalk Empire) also star.
From Universal Cable Productions, the “Tremors” pilot was directed by Vincenzo Natali from a script by Andrew Miller, who will also serve as showrunner and executive producer along with Bacon and David Schiff in association with Blumhouse Television.
Production on Season 4 of Netflix’s “The Witcher” is now underway, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the role of Geralt of Rivia from Henry Cavill. Additionally, Netflix has announced today that “The Witcher” has been renewed for a fifth and FINAL season.
Netflix announces, “[Season 4] will be followed by a final season that’s being shot back-to-back with the fourth, and will complete the adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s books.”
“It is with huge pride that we begin shooting our penultimate season of The Witcher with a stellar cast, including some exciting new additions, led by Liam Hemsworth as Geralt of Rivia,” said creator/showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring Andrzej Sapkowski’s books to an epic and satisfying conclusion. It wouldn’t be our show if we didn’t push our family of characters to their absolute limit — stay tuned to see how the story ends.”
The fourth and fifth seasons will cover Sapkowski’s three remaining books: Baptism of Fire, The Tower of the Swallow, and Lady of the Lake. As mentioned, Liam Hemsworth is taking over the role of Geralt from Henry Cavill, who played the character in the first three seasons.
“As a Witcher fan, I’m over the moon about the opportunity to play Geralt of Rivia,” said Hemsworth. “Henry Cavill has been an incredible Geralt, and I’m honored that he’s handing me the reins and allowing me to take up the White Wolf’s blades for the next chapter of his adventure. Henry, I’ve been a fan of yours for years and was inspired by what you brought to this beloved character. I may have some big boots to fill, but I’m truly excited to be stepping into The Witcher world.”
Sharlto Copley, James Purefoy, and Danny Woodburn will also star in Season 4, alongside Laurence Fishburne, Anya Chalotra, Freya Allan and Joey Batey.
“After the shocking, Continent-altering events that close out Season 3, the new season follows Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri, who are separated and traversing the war-ravaged Continent and its many demons. If they can embrace and lead the groups of misfits they find themselves in, they have a chance of surviving the baptism of fire — and finding one another again.”
