Last year, Syfy pulled the plug on a Kevin Bacon-starring “Tremors” TV series, cancelling the planned series after the pilot episode had been filmed. As we learned earlier this year, the failed “Tremors” project from writer/executive producer Andrew Miller will have a presence at this year’s Atx Television Festival with a panel that will include “a selection […]...

What’s the one thing Taika Waititi, Ryan Coogler and Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s Jon Watts have in common? You know, aside from being wonderfully talented directors who have now helmed one Marvel movie each…

You guessed it: Prior to their initial foray into the McU, Waititi, Coogler, and Watts were known for micro-budget indies like What We Do in the Shadows, Fruitvale Station and, in the case of Watts, Cop Car, the white-knuckle ride starring Kevin Bacon of Tremors fame.

So it’s fair to say that Kevin Feige and the Powers That Be over at Marvel rolled the dice when hiring Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok), Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) and Jon Watts (Homecoming), though the sheer success of each movie proves that Feige’s decision was more of a calculated gamble, as he’s a big believer in welcoming indie directors onto the big stage.

Kevin Bacon has revealed that the Tremors reboot which he is developing with Oscar-nominated Whiplash producer Jason Blum is set to be made with broadcaster SyFy (formerly the Sci-Fi Channel).

“We are going to do a pilot for Syfy,” the Footloose and Diner star told Screen while at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where he was attending a screening of Story Of A Girl, in which he co-stars.

Bacon originally approached Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum, whose horror credits include Paranormal Activity and Insidious, with the idea of reviving cult comedy-horror Tremors as a feature film, but the project is now being developed as an eight-episode TV series, which Bacon will star in and produce.

He will again be playing Valentine McKee, the Nevada handyman who tussles with gigantic man-eating sandworms.
