Kevin Bacon is no quitter, and he isn't willing to let go of something important to him, apparently. In this case, Bacon is still holding out hope for a Tremors reboot.
Bacon told Variety while promoting his Showtime show, City on a Hill, that he's interested in seeing where his character from the film is now, 25 years later. He said, "I liked that character because it was the only character I really looked at and said, ‘I wanna know where he is 25 years later.'"
In the film, Tremors, Bacon played Val McKee, a handyman who has to save the world from giant, underground worms. The movie found a brief second life when Bacon shot and starred in a pilot for a series of the same name for SyFy. Unfortunately for fans, the show was never picked up, despite some favorable reviews.
His new show is set in 1990s Boston and features Bacon as racist, misogynist police officer, Jackie Rohr, whose best attribute is his remarkable mustache. Despite the series being picked up for a second season on Showtime, he is still holding out hope for a return to Tremors, saying, "I feel like we’ve explored the options. But, listen, you never know. Stranger things have happened."
