MORE ON CROWD SOURCING (Much more!) Have you considered crowd sourcing to get it funded, then releasing it for “free” as a fan film? Notice the quotes? You give it away free with purchase of official Tremors 1-4 memorabilia, that’s what they did for Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. ST:OGAM was made by the Roddenberry family and well known star trek actors. As they were not making money off the film itself, but instead reselling official products with the DVD being added to all orders as a free gift, they were allowed to distribute it freely from a simple low budget web store. They eventually put ST:OGAM on youtube for all to watch when they were ready to move on to their next movie Star Trek: Renegades currently in production. Producing Tremors 5 this way would place the movie outside the official cannon, but extended cannon is just as important to fans as official cannon, especially if official cannon has no further continuity.

Ye gads, I guess Tremors fans have started going to law school! This question raises valid legal arguments that I don’t think I can handle.  But I’m pretty sure we still need Universal’s permission to use their material/characters, even if the end product is “free.”
