The copyright to the original Tremors screenplay is now back in the hands of its creators at Stampede Entertainment
In short, Stampede created Tremors, it’s three sequels and the 13 episode television series. They wrote a script for a fifth film, but Universal decided that it didn’t want any help from the creators.
Universal went ahead with its own ideas and created films 5, 6 & 7, which are frankly crap. Now Stampede has the rights back to the original film, they can make their own sequels with graboids and characters from that first story. They can’t use anyone, or creatures from the rest of the film series. That’s a bit of a shame as I really like the Shriekers from Tremors 2.
We used to watch the part in Tremors 2 where Julio gets chomped in slow motion over and over.
The scene where the truck’s headlights in the distance come to a stop in the night used to scare the absolute shit out of me as a kid. I don’t know why it was so horrifying. Left a lot to the imagination, I guess. Then you see the aftermath.
