NAPOLEON DYNAMITE Star Jon Heder Joins TREMORS: ISLAND FURY
There’s a seventh Tremors movie in development called Tremors: Island Fury and Michael Gross is set to return and reprise his role as survivalist Burt Gummer. It’s kinda crazy to me that this franchise has survived for as long as it has. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy these films! But, I never thought I’d see seven of them!
Jamie Kennedy co-starred in the last two films of the franchise and he opted not to return for this next movie. According to JoBlo, Gross was disappointed by Kennedy's decision not to come back because they planned a big storyline for his character Travis B. Welker.
Well, Gross has revealed the cast of Tremors: Island Fury on Instagram and that cast includes Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Richard Brake (Three From Hell), Caroline Langrishe, and Jackie Cruz (Orange Is the New Black).
Heder is playing a character named Jimmy, which I assume is a replacement character for Kennedy's character and will be Burt's comedic sidekick. Richard Brake is playing a character named Bill, Caroline Langrishe will be playing a character named Jas, and Jackie Cruz is playing Freddie.
The story for the next film is said to center around rich people who are hunting Graboids on an island. The brief plot summary reads, “The deadly Graboids are back, illegally brought in to a new island resort by a rich playboy looking for a trophy hunt.”
Also starring in the film are Cassie Clare, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Matthew Douglass, Randy Kalsi, Bear Williams, David Asavanond, Boonma Lamphon, Aukrawut Rojaunawat, Iris Park, and Mikey Black.
Bloodlines and A Cold Day in Hell director Don Michael Paul will be directing the film from a script written by Brian Brightly. Are you excited to see what this next Tremors movie has to offer?
