Hi all, Tremors: On New Ground is a fan-film I tried to make back in 2003. Unfortunately my film-making skills weren't as great then, so with new knowledge & experience I intend to shoot it fully in 2011/12. To motivate, I created a longer version of all the footage we shot for the trailer in 2003 just the other day. Please note we were only attempting to make a trailer, not a full length film at that point (although the script was written and we were shooting the trailer from extracts). 2022 Update: After so many years the links all died but you can still see the footage on YT here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_W-iSWH2gBoth creations feature music from the original Tremors and some clips which are quite obviously copyright Universal. I put them in because our FX shots never happened. On New Ground is a totally free fan-made film and providing it's finished, will be online for free viewing.

great job guys. i really enjoyed this, the only thing that bothered me was seeing the clips from the movie inserted into it. I really look foward to seeing your new version you plan on filming. good luck with everything.

Thanks! Yep well we never did FX, had a few promises on some hand puppets etc but it never happened. And Dave Grenfell's screams over that classic graboid clip makes me crack up, sorry In the future edition we will, so if you know any friends into puppetry or prosphetics, now is the time to let me know!! Bevause Universal won't be lending.....! And of course the music is a blatent rip - but I only heard the full soundtrack a week or so ago, after years of wanting it - I had to use it....y'know.. Fanism Other than just a homage to mon favourite movie....It's really just an example intro and then the scenes we shot for the trailer and some graboid footage because it's always fun to re-watch But the script is too good to ditch, so I posted this up for some future motivation..I appreciate the comments. PS The link is a bit iffy, just click it a few times or hit enter on the 404 page and it'll load. It's definitely there

Not bad at all ... of course they ARE driving on the WRONG side of the road and car :-) (in the UK my family measured my driving skills in "screams per kilometer"! - after 2 weeks we were down to about 1/4 scream per kilometer - they won't let me drive anymore :-) ).

Is the extended trailer going on youtube soon? I still can't get the video to work, and I would really like to see it. If not, thanks anyways for uploading. I really enjoyed regular trailer on youtube.

Really great! I love it! You should post it on S.S. Wilson's FaceBook fanpage and show him how it was coming.
Oh, and one question: Was the movie going to features Shriekers, ABs, or baby Graboids, or were you just sticking to traditional Graboids? Either way, awesome!
Also, I'm going to refer some Tremors fans on other websites to this post so that you get more views.

Thanks for the kind words! I emailed SS Wilson the link to the online version back when I posted the URL up here, and he told me he and Brent had seen the trailer and quite liked it! Our fan film was only going to feature graboids. I think we would have struggled to do any effects with any of the other types. You can see we struggled with what we already made - we never got round to creating an effective graboid. Thanks for passing on the link - as I said I just made this edit for fun. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get all the sound that our sound man Gaz worked tirelessly on, which is why there's speech missing and soundtrack blaring over the top of dialogue. Even though we only shot scenes for the trailer, there were a few that weren't in the trailer edit that I thought could do with being shown, especially for those who helped make the trailer back in '03. Well, thanks once more. Who knows - I'm a much better film-maker now than I was back in 2003, so I'd love to give TONG another shot sometime. We'll see

Found myself swinging by and realized all the links in the original post are dead, but the extended footage does still exist here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_W-iSWH2gIt's not highest quality, those versions are long gone I'm sure. But for posterity's sake at least, have fixed the link to what does still exist! I still keep in touch with SS Wilson (to this day) and have even tried to get some projects off the ground together but to no avail so far (and it wouldn't be Tremors sadly, copyright, Universal and all that! but certainly a shared sentiment of movie monsters) Never the less he has always been forthcoming about movie making and to think he'll still hear me out almost 20 years since I *tried* to make that fan-fic is definitely something! Haha. If you haven't seen his video footage from the making of Tremors do seek out Tremors "The Lost Tapes" series on his YT channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMZmcZnZYG_4_yvQUPWpOAI think watching all that footage put me on a Tremors high which is why I ended up here again, ha! Great to see your forums are still up and running. Stay safe out there!
