When people talk about franchises that didn’t get the respect they deserve because that were way ahead of their time, the first thing I think of is Tremors.
The film experience of watching the movie in the theaters was what going to the movies is all about. I was too young to fully appreciate that it wasn’t a true blockbuster, but I did know that I loved it and couldn’t wait for more.
Six sequels and a TV show later, star Kevin Bacon still wants more. While talking about his new show The Bondsman with Comic Book, Bacon was asked which of his characters he would like to revive, and he was quick to answer:
“It would be Valentine McKee from Tremors. I’ve always felt like, where we left that character, after having gone through this extraordinary … It’s such an ordinary man going through such an extraordinary situation. Actually, not unlike The Bondsman in that way. I just want to see what happened 25-30 years later to this guy and where he would have ended up.”
I totally agree, Val is still one of my favorite Bacon characters. It makes me happy that he is still so connected to Val and his story. I would love to see something in the vein of Kane from Kung Fu. Val traveling the Earth with the attitude of “Have experience, will travel.”
If you are reading this, then you know that Tremors is a cult classic and the franchise is just as exciting today as it was when we first saw it. I really hope someone in the studio hears him and gives us what we want.
If you are interested, The Bondsman is streaming on Prime right now. Here is a quick synopsis:
“Kevin Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter who’s back from the dead after being resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell. By chasing down those demons with the help and hindrance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned — which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.”
Are you hoping for another epic Tremors movie?
