Five More Actors Join Syfy’s “Tremors” Pilot

Published

With the pilot gearing up to begin shooting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, five actors have signed on to star alongside the returning Kevin Bacon in Syfy’s “Tremors”!

Via Deadline, P.J. Byrne (Final Destination 5), Hunter Parrish (“Weeds”), Ebonée Noel (“Wrecked”), Brandon Jay McLaren (“Ransom”), and Haley Tju (“Bella and the Bulldogs”) are the latest to join the cast.

Byrne will play Melvin, a survivor of the original Graboid attack and real estate developer obsessed with reinventing Perfection, all fueled by jealousy he holds for Valentine McKee.

Parrish is Arthur Brandt, a young, magnetic leader of the pot-growing, earth-worshipping tribe of Millenials who’ve moved to Perfection to soak in its unique spiritual energy.

Noel will portray Zoe, a truth-seeker possessed with deep, sensual intuition and mystic power. Zoe’s connection to Mother Earth is aided by Perfection’s unique energy and provides her with visions of events to come.

McLaren is Toby, a likable guy who nobody likes; he’s the public liaison to a data storage company in Perfection that failed to create any local jobs. He’s hanging around to facilitate the company’s transition from staffed to unmanned operation.

Tju will portray Jai, a dirt-biking drug smuggler and Perfection’s resident badass.

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.

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 will be 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.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
