The Shriekers Are Back! The Seventh ‘Tremors’ Film is Officially Titled ‘Tremors: Shrieker Island’
Last we heard, the seventh Tremors movie is still on track for release in October, and we’ve learned via the MPAA today that it’s been given an official title and a PG-13 rating.
Formerly titled Tremors: Island Fury, it’s now titled Tremors: Shrieker Island!
That title is in reference to the Shriekers, a recurring franchise villain that first appeared in Tremors 2: Aftershocks. They were last seen in Tremors 3 and the “Tremors” TV series.
In the new movie, starring Michael Gross as Burt Gummer…
“The deadly Graboids are back, illegally brought in to a new island resort by a rich playboy looking for a trophy hunt.”
Tremors: Shrieker Island has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA this week for “creature violence, language throughout, some gore, and suggestive/drug references.”
The cast also includes Richard Brake, Jon Heder, Caroline Langrishe, Jackie Cruz, Cassie Clare, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Matthew Douglas, Randy Kalsi, Bear Williams, David Assavanon, Boonma Lamphon, Aukrawut Rojaunawat, Owen Macrae, Iris Park and Mikey Black.
Brian Brightly wrote the screenplay with Universal Home Entertainment regular Don Michael Paul returning to direct. He previously got behind the camera for Tremors 5: Bloodlines and 2018’s Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, as well as several other Universal home video titles.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
