Kevin Bacon to star in 'Tremors' TV series

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Blumhouse Productions says it is working with Universal Cable on a small-screen revival of the monster-worm franchise Tremors.

Kevin Bacon, who starred in the original 1990 movie, will reprise his role as Valentine McKee. Andrew Miller is penning the series, which will once again take place in the fictional desert town of Perfection, Nev.

The producers are currently shopping the show to cable television networks.

The film was followed by four direct-to-video sequels, as well as a 13-episode Syfy series in 2004.

Bacon Tuesday tweeted a photo of him with his wife, actress Kyra Sedgwick, on the set of the original Tremors.

"Me and @kyrasedgwick 9 months pregnant 26 years ago on the #Tremors set. Might be time to head back to Perfection," he captioned the image.
