Michael Gross: "Stay Tuned, Tremors Fans!"

The long silence about all the Tremors rumours has finally come to an end as Michael Gross tells fans of Tremors to "stay tuned".

Michael Gross first talked about the possibility of Tremors 5 going into production back in March. Then we got into a long lull until Don Michael Paul wrote his now-deleted blog post announcing his role as the director of a reboot of the Tremors franchise. Other than that we have had very little substantial news. Stampede has said that there's been talk at Universal about doing a new Tremors film, but there's been similar rumours almost since back when Tremors 4 was released. It's always been someone's intention to make a fifth installment in the Tremors film franchise. But now it seems we're getting a lot closer.

Last Friday, unbeknownst to many, Michael Gross wrote a short message on the official Tremors fanpage on Facebook (as seen above) simply reading "Stay tuned for some exciting news!" Of course in the midst of all the rumours this isn't too surprising, it's more of a relief. We've finally gotten something a bit more to grab onto. Some actual information from a person who's supposed to be involved. Today he even resorted to posting more information on his own fanpage.

Universal obviously wants him to gauge the interest amongst his fans. The people who actively follow the Tremors franchise, and who (hopefully) wants even more. If Universal is getting Michael Gross to post these statuses, there is something going on, and we'll probably learn more sooner rather than later. What it might be is up to anyone's guess, if it isn't a fifth Tremors film, it might just be something fun in celebration of the original film's 25th anniversary next year, but I'd honestly be surprised at this point if it turned out it wasn't a new film.

And just to add some more fuel to the fire for good old, speculative fun, the comment above was posted to Michael Gross' original post to the Tremors fanpage. "Tremors 5 with all the original cast?" It was liked by what appears to be Michael Gross' personal Facebook page. But it could, in truth, be anyone's page, anyone with a few personal looking photos of Michael Gross. It's still fun that he might have liked it, however. A film with all the original cast probably won't be happening, but with Kevin Bacon recently stating that he'd love to do a reboot/sequel it's not as far fetched as it might have been earlier this year.
