Stampede Productions can fly, again, sucker. After a decade-long absence from the Tremors franchise, Stampede Productions, has found the ass end of the rights to their underground, human-eating worms series. In a blog post earlier today, Stampede announced it “reclaimed the rights to the original script for Tremors.” The production company behind the first four Tremors movies, Stampede, includes director Ron Underwood, writers S.S. Wilson and Brent Maddock, and producer, agent, and writer Nancy Roberts.
In the blog post, the collective members of Stampede laid out a couple of promises for whatever comes next for Tremors. The company isn’t “reading outside ideas” and is considering a “return-to-Perfection sequel,” referring to 2001’s Tremors 3: Back To Perfection. But if that doesn’t work, they’re considering “one or two more outlandish ideas featuring graboids in a new setting.” However, it will not be a remake of the first movie with a new cast, nor “will it be a version of our original script for Tremors 5 (a question that is frequently sent to the Stampede FAQ).” Finally, and, perhaps, most importantly, they are considering folding Kevin Bacon’s character, Val, back into the series, but “no promises.”
