The 1990 monster movie Tremors starring Kevin Bacon is coming back as a TV show of sorts, it seems. Deadline reports that TV network Syfy has ordered a pilot for a reboot, with Bacon set to appear again as his character, Valentine `Val` McKee, who is now older and struggles with alcohol and more.Here`s how Deadline sums up the story for the reboot: `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.`The new Tremors is written by Andrew Miller (The Secret Circle, Nothing).`This is the only character I`ve played that I`ve ever thought about revisiting,` Bacon told Deadline. `I just got to thinking, `Where would this guy end up after 25 years?`. Andrew Miller has a fantastic take on it, and we hope to create a show that will be fun and scary for fans of the movie and folks that have yet to discover it. Let`s kick some Graboid ass!`Tremors only made $16.6 million in the US, but it became a cult hit. There were multiple straight-to-DVD sequels, and a TV show, Tremors: The Series, ran for one season on in 2003 on Syfy, which at the time was known as Sci-Fi.Bear in mind that Syfy has only ordered a pilot for a new Tremors show, so there is no guarantee the show will actually ever come to fruition.
