Im just waiting for the call https://t.co/5H3zOB7IHw

The actor who told Esquire two years ago that he wants to star in a Tremors sequel if its on the big screen shared hes still totally on board for a reboot of the cult classic.

Im just waiting for the call Bacon wrote in a quote tweet alongside a befitting worm emoji.

In 1990, Bacon starred in Tremors, the first installment of the franchise, which features giant man-eating worms called graboids.

Tremors was followed by multiple direct-to-video sequels, a short-lived TV series and one prequel, including Tremors 2: Aftershocks, Tremors 3: Back to Perfection, Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, Tremors 5: Bloodlines, Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell, and Tremors: Shrieker Island.

Tremors follows natives in the small town of Perfection, Nevada, who defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one, according to the films synopsis.

Directed by Ron Underwood, the original film also stars Bacon, Reba McEntire, Fred Ward and Michael Gross.

In 2021, Bacon told Esquire that Universal tapped him about doubling down on more films in the franchise years ago; however, they wouldve been direct-to-video.

We were around the 25 year anniversary. I went to Blumhouse, and they were totally into the idea, Bacon said at the time, referring to the production company. Universal didnt want to remake it as a feature and also maybe because it didnt work as a feature the first time. So we put it aside. Then they came back to me and said, What would you think about doing it as a series?

In 2018, Deadline reported that the TV reboot of the 1990 film wouldnt see the light of day after SyFy rejected the series , despite a fantastic pilot , Bacon said in an Instagram post.
