Plot Details For Kevin Bacon's TREMORS Series and HANNIBAL Director Vincenzo Natali Will Helm the Pilot

A couple of months ago it was announced that Kevin Bacon's Tremors series was picked up by the SyFy Channel. Bacon is set to reprise his role of Valentine McKee in the series and Deadline recently reported that Vincenzo Natali (Hannibal, Cube, Splice) will be helming the pilot episode. We also have some new story details! 

In the Tremors series "the killer Graboid worms that nearly destroyed Perfection, NV, 25 years ago are back, and the town’s only hope for survival is Valentine McKee (Bacon), who beat them once. But to do it again he’ll have to overcome age, alcohol and a delusional hero complex."

I grew up watching the original 1990 film. I watched that damn thing all the time! Hell, I've even watched most of the sequels. It's just a fun franchise, and it's so cool that Bacon is coming back to reprise his role. They've also got a solid director attached to helm the pilot episode, so it seems like this series project is shaping up to be something solid. 

The series is being written by Andrew Miller, who previously worked with Natali on the 1997 film Cube. Miller starred in the film and the two guys actually met in high school. 

Natali has been keeping busy with directing episodes of Westworld, American Gods, Luke Cage, Orphan Black, and The Strain. The guy has a great track record so it's good to see him jump on board Tremors.
