Got to watch Don Michael Paul's newest film today "Sniper: Legacy". Very similar to what Tremors 5 would be in terms of logistics. Last in a line of DTV sequels, features actor from original theatrical release, stands on its own as well as setting up the universe for future adventures. And on top of that it's not even a bad film. I'm starting to get more and more confident that he could actually direct a decent Tremors film. He's certainly not a horrible director by any means, at least not on the films he's released this year. Thats good to know! I feel if its Brent Maddock-SS Wilson script with a new director it won't be too bad, especially if he is competent.

Nice nice! Whether its Australia or Africa, I wonder how they'll explain Graboids existing in another location. Maybe they'll look a little bit different, which would hint that they evolved independently of the strain that originated in Southern USA/Mexico?

We'll in "Night of the Shriekers" on the series Dr Flint details a Graboid was discovered in the Sahara Desert as it was about to metamorphose, and the resulting Shriekers were caught and purchased.No mention of it being different, but that's a cool idea. I don't even expect them to remember that detail about them being seen in the Sahara but It will bother me if they only mention them finding them in US, Mexico, Argentina and completely forget it.

Forgot about that. But the Shriekers in the show looked a bit different anyways (most notably the neck), so there could be a bit of wiggle room if they decided to go in that direction. Of course, then there's the problem of the Shriekers from Shriek and Destroy It wouldn't bother me if they don't reference that comment in the show and go in a slightly different direction for the design in the film, but like you I don't want them to simply forget it if at all possible.

Well, they *do* have the fossil of a graboid's spike from the Precambrian era, after which the continents have met up plenty of times (Precambrian was 4600 million years ago to about 541 million years ago, whilst Pangaea for examaple was 300-100 million years ago). It's not at all impossible that like some other animals, the graboids just haven't evolved much over the years. They've managed to remain pretty much unnoticed through all of human kind's existence. Having them in Australia would just be a way of going "yeah, graboids evolved that long ago".

We plan ahead, that way we don't have to do anything right now. Earl explained it to me.

Tremors 2 says the fossil was Precambrian, which is impossible because the only life forms then were single-celled organism. The graboids would have nothing to eat. It is much more probable that they are from the Devonian period.

Thats true on the Precambrian thing, she even said besides one celled things in the same explanation of the fossil.

Maybe I'm looking too hard, but that looks like a puppet to me. Which would suggest to me it's going to be in the film. My current hypothesis is that it might be about Burt going on holiday to hunt big game in Africa only to meet up with a bunch of graboids. Or he goes to hunt graboids, and just happens to hunt some other animals as well when he first is there. When you think of it, Africa does seem like a place Burt would be more likely to travel than Australia.

Here is a quote from Michael Gross on his facebook to a poster, talking about the warthog: "Unfortunately, Phacochoerus africanus does not appear in the film, but I appear in a scene with a male Panthera leo, which is quite a bit larger than the common Felis domesticus. :0)" - Michael Gross. I don't think a lion is indigenous to Australia either.
