First pic & synopsis for Tremors 5, starring Michael Gross & Jamie Kennedy

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Way back in July we learned that we would be seeing the return of the Graboids with TREMORS 5, with Don Michael Paul helming the newest entry in the long-running franchise. Now we've learned that principal photography on the latest TREMORS flick has begun in South Africa with series star Michael Gross returning as Burt Gummer alongside new cast member Jamie Kennedy (SCREAM). Along with that bit of news, we have a new synopsis and the first pic from the set to share with ya.

The theatrical release of the original Tremors in 1990 combined suspense-filled action, sci-fi imagination and witty humor in the tale of a tiny Nevada town terrorized by giant man-eating worms known as Graboids.  The Graboids eventually morphed into even more deadly creatures known as Ass Blasters. In this all-new adventure that travels halfway around the world to South Africa, the Graboids and the Ass Blasters are not only bigger and badder but Tremors 5 introduces an additional unexpected surprise that raises the stakes in the battle for survival.

Michael Gross returns as weapons enthusiast and expert subterranean creature hunter Burt Gummer with Jamie Kennedy as his new right hand man, tech-savvy Travis. The pair are joined by an international cast as they mount a battle against the deadly creatures that turns out to be far more than they bargained for.

The film is directed by Don Michael Paul (JARHEAD 2: FIELD OF FIRE) from a script by John Whelpley (TREMORS 3: BACK TO PERFECTION) and produced by Ogden Gavanski (WARM BODIES).

TREMORS 5 will be released to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD in 2016.
