Stampede Wins Back (some) Rights to Tremors! – April 2025 Update

News from Tremors Fest 2024

As was announced at the Santa Fe Tremors Fest in October, 2024, the partners in Stampede Entertainment have reclaimed the rights to the original script for Tremors.

We’ve been exploring what this may allow us to do, so here’s the update.

First, we aren’t reading outside ideas.

We are discussing a return-to-Perfection sequel, and one or two more outlandish ideas featuring graboids in new settings.

Whatever we decide to pitch to Hollywood, it will not be a remake the first movie with a new cast.  Nor will it be a version of our original script for Tremors 5 (a question that is frequently sent to the Stampede FAQ)

We are considering ideas that feature the return of Kevin Bacon as Val, but no promises!

LICENSING UPDATE:
One bit of good news: we have made a deal with writer Christian Francis to do a Tremors novelization based on our script, since Universal never did one.  Check out his many SF and horror books at: http://echohorror.com/

Beyond that, it is now clear we have no rights to the first movie and no ability to license anything from it.  We cannot license, for example, t-shirts with a graboid on them, or even something with the Tremors title logo (the original script was titled “Beneath Perfection”).

Therefore, all requests for licensing anything from any of the Tremors films must be still be referred to Universal Studios.

The Stampede Team.
