Michael Gross: "Universal Press Release Tomorrow!"

It's been a while since we last heard anything about the fifth Tremors film that is allegedly shooting in South-Africa at the moment, but tomorrow we will learn everything.


Michael Gross writes today on his Facebook that Universal Studios is going to release a press release tomorrow as to why he's been in South-Africa playing with "exotic fauna". Considering how playful he's been in the comments of his Facebook page regarding Tremors, I'd say there's a good 90 % chance that Tremors 5 is going to be announced tomorrow. If not, there will be a lot of annoyed fans that might sour on Michael Gross entirely.

What is perhaps the most interesting about his post is that it contains a picture of a warthog, a species of animal specifically named after Africa, and that isn't present in Australia. Could they have changed the script S.S. Wilson and Maddock wrote ten years ago so much that they needed an entirely new location? It will be interesting to see what kind of details Universal will give up tomorrow, and how they fit in with the story that's been leaking through for the past few months. If it isn't a fifth Tremors film, it has to be something related to the franchise.

Update:
Michael Gross has said that the warthog pictured in his post does not feature in the film at hand, but a lion does. More or less confirming the apparent new setting of the film. I am starting to think that this fifth installment of the Tremors franchise might see Burt travel to Africa to go on some kind of safari, be it of the hunting kind or not. It's definitely more up in the character's alley than Australia, which has little big game for the man with the elephant gun.
