Deadline is reporting that director Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice) has signed on to direct the pilot episode of Syfy’s Tremors TV series.
The pilot is written by Andrew Miller (The Secret Circle) and will take place 25 years after the original movie, as Perfection, NV once again comes under threat from the killer Graboid worms. To defeat them, the town turns to Valentine McKee (the returning Kevin Bacon), who beat them once – but to do it again he’ll have to overcome age, alcohol and a delusional hero complex.
Tremors will be Natali’s first pilot, although he has credits on numerous TV shows, including the likes of Hannibal, American Gods, Orphan Black, Westworld, The Strain and Luke Cage.
