TREMORS Stars Kevin Bacon & Michael Gross Reunite for New Commercial
Nice. Tremors stars Kevin Bacon and Burt Gummer AKA Michael Gross have reunited for a new commercial for wireless provider Visible.
Gross shared a photo on set, saying: “Yes, Kevin Bacon and Burt Gummer reunited after 30+ years, but not for an eighth film. To be sure, the Tremors franchise — past, present, and future — was a huge topic of conversation. Our reunion was warm, light-hearted, and candid, but we met for an entirely different purpose. Today a commercial, tomorrow a Tremors sequel? Hey, stranger things have happened!“
Check out the fun commercial below.

Ron Underwood directed the creature-feature classic co-starring Fred Ward and Reba McEntire. S.S. Wilson & Brent Maddock (Short Circuit) wrote the script.
The film follows good-ol’-boy handymen Val (Bacon) and Earl (Ward) who are sick of their dead-end jobs in Perfection, Nevada. Just as they’re about to escape Perfection forever, however, things start to get really weird: half-eaten corpses litter the road out of town; the phone lines stop working, and a plucky young scientist shows evidence of unusually strong seismic activity in the area. Something is coming for the citizens of Perfection… and it’s under the goddamn ground!
Tremors sports an 86% over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: An affectionate throwback to 1950s creature features, Tremors reinvigorates its genre tropes with a finely balanced combination of horror and humor.
A few years back, Bacon starred in a failed pilot of a rebooted TV series at SyFy. And he still hopes the abandoned series finds a home one day. Bring it on, I say!
