Why do some characters not come back and why do you add new characters?

Often people ask why a particular cast member has not returned for Tremors 2 or 3.  There are several reasons.  Sometimes actors don’t want to repeat a character they’ve played before.  Sometime schedules don’t work (they’re already doing another movie when we have to be shooting ours).

For example, Kevin Bacon was asked to be in TREMORS II, but he was about to do Apollo 13, and is really enjoying playing a wide variety of different characters. He didn’t feel at the time that he wanted to come back and repeat the Val McKee character.

Sometimes, since we’re the writers, we can’t think fun things for the earlier characters to do and we feel like inventing new ones.  That’s part of what happened on Tremors 3.  Since many of the townsfolk are back, we felt we needed some new characters to add to the mix.
