SR : So what initially draw you to become part of the Tremors dealership ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : It was a really well persona . It was part of a fabled franchise and was like something that was so cool . You love had n’t made one of these picture show in about 12 eld . They were saying how it could be a totally new type of picture and it was unlike and they were going to bring up the dealership . So I was very worked up about . So I see a lot of possibilities there .
SR : Yeah , the big devotee root word was clamoring for it for quite a long time period of time so , you came on - board at a very good time for it .
JAMIE KENNEDY : Yeah , it ’s a immense sports fan base and I realized how great it is and I ’m favourable to be in it . The hoi polloi really seemed to grow over time . It ’s a great world , this Tremors world , and mass just keep watching them . So it ’s awesome .
SR : In this motion picture Travis takes a very big leap in responsibility in the factual Tremors world . Do you call up , as a fiber , he ’s ready to take that kind of charge ? Is he matured enough now to take over for Burt [ Gummer ] , should Burt formally ever want to pass that torch to him as the lead character ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : Well , that ’s what you ’re going to see in this movie . You ’re going to see Travis grow and he ’s going to change and he ’s drop dead to become more of a gentleman’s gentleman . The first movie is a niggling bit more of a fun loving goofball , and then in this movie , certain thing start to happen . Then we realize that he ’s becoming more of a gentleman . Burt really has to bank him with the reins , and that ’s kind of what the picture show is about . It ’s about him growing in who he is and taking over for this forefather . There ’s a lot of that in there .
SR : What ’s your favorite part of the original trilogy and/or TV show that you enjoy drawing references to , other than being , patently , Heather and Burt ’s son ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : Yeah , I ’m their boy but I think the just the genealogy of the whole Perfection , Nevada and how there ’s a slew of references to Chang ’s Market . In this one , we see some of Burt ’s life . There ’s a muckle of cross - mention between this one and the first one . Then there ’s Kevin Bacon . People just loved Kevin Bacon in [ Tremors ] and there ’s references to him . I think we taste to be true to the whole genre of Tremors and how we append stuff to it .
SR : Where would you eventually like to see the part , and maybe the story , progress ? What different environment or different vista would you like to see added to the franchise ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : I believe blank is next … I’m jolly . Well they could n’t they could go to Canada , because they did n’t think [ Graboids ] could survive in the common cold . They did n’t know where they could go , these things . So I think that this is a new [ idea ] . tremor in the Arctic is a new one . For me , I think maybe going somewhere in the ocean , body of water , because they ’ve always been in the demesne . But if you have something in the piss the whole earth is opening up , because tremor in the piddle – masses did n’t think they could be there . It just inflate the world even more .
SR : Could you see them in a volcano or possibly even an urban environment where they ’re at heart of a city ? Because they have n’t really been inside of a heavy metropolis yet .
JAMIE KENNEDY : They have n’t been ! That ’s a really good point . That ’s a really skillful point , bro . I think you ’re right . I think that somewhere in a big city - like doing your stuff - like that would be in reality , really bragging . Somewhere in a big metropolis , like New York , would actually be really grownup . Some city were the Tremors … that ’s a really good idea . I like tremor in New York . * laugh *
SR : Or Chicago seems to be the place to ruin at the present moment .
JAMIE KENNEDY : Yeah , that ’s where Burt ’s favourite team [ the Cubs ] is from .
SR : Then you’re able to twine it all together . normally they let the Graboid to morph over the course of the first three film . It has a new transition they sum up to it each time . Then after the third one with Assblasters they kind of stopped doing that . Now , they ’re just changing the environment . So do you see them maybe changing the [ Graboid ] dead body again and doing something else besides the Assblaster ? Though I have intercourse that ’s an entire bicycle : Graboid , Shrieker , back to Assblaster .
JAMIE KENNEDY : How do you mean ?
SR : They morph every flick during the first three movies . They transfer . The Graboids are cloak-and-dagger , then they added the Shriekers , and then in the third film they added the Assblasters . Then they did n’t really do anything else with the monsters , as far as , morph it . They just started changing the surroundings where we would regain the monsters . They went to the Old West . They went to Africa and now they ’re in the Arctic , northward of Canada . Do you see them maybe changing the body of an Assblaster and coming up with something new ? If so , what would you wish to see them maybe change it into ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : The Assblaster , that ’s part of the worm . That ’s the raspberry , man . The Assblaster is a bird .
SR : Right , so they have fly , they have underground , the have on top of the earth – but you mention possibly going into the sea ? Could there be a mutation for that ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : That would have to be a whole different type . Maybe that would be like a mutation ? That ’s what we let the cat out of the bag about in this movie about : How did the Graboids end up in the Arctic ? That ’s a big thing . hoi polloi are going to detect out how they befall in the Arctic . So if they did go to another geological locating , like the water , they belike had to mutate . Do I see that materialise ? I have no melodic theme . I do n’t know what the next move is going to be but it will be pretty coolheaded if they keep expanding the world .
SR : Are there going to be more films ? Michael [ Gross ] talked that they were discussing it before long , in reality . Have they bring up it to you at all ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : I have n’t heard anything yet , but you know Michael is deep in the Tremors creative colliery . So he ’ll jazz than I do . peradventure they are ? I do n’t have any approximation but people seem to like them . So we ’ll see how this movie does .
SR : Now they ’re doing the television show again , obviously with just Kevin Bacon and his daughter - clearly being played by somebody unlike on the show . Have you been go about to do any kind of cameo or any sort of part in the video show at all ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : I have not been go up by any of that . I intend that ’s a whole unlike macrocosm they ’re doing . But it ’s near just because it gets the name quake out there . Talking about it and push the brand of Tremors . But no , I ’m not involved , but Kevin Bacon is , I heard , and that ’s awing for the whole thing .
SR : Yeah . I ’m enquire where Fred Ward is in all of this . Would you wish to see him come back ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : Yeah man ! Fred is a legend ! The whole [ world ] of Tremors is based off the first movie . The muscularity of that first movie and how it ’s completely this little underground hit that became a topnotch - duper cult classic . If Jurassic Park is the “ father ” , then Tremors is the “ boy ” . You know what I mean ? It has its own world and people hump it . So I ’d like to see the series become successful , anything with Tremors , because I reckon it ’s unspoiled for the show .
SR : perhaps Fred comes back on the next movie and [ Travis ] gets introduced to his girl ? How would that work ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : Who ’s playing his daughter ?
SR : Somebody blistering ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : * laughs * I ’m go to look it up flop now .
SR : OK . So if you could take on Travis and any other horror property , right , any eccentric in this genre . manifestly not something like Friday the 13 or anything like that . Any other fiend horror property , which would it be and why would you prefer to do that one ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : In revulsion or in an action movie ?
SR : revulsion or action , something where it would make sense , where you would be in that type of environs – monster hunters and such .
JAMIE KENNEDY : You be intimate what ? That ’s a really good interrogation . I ’d get laid it to be Jurassic Park because Travis came into this [ Tremors ] world trying to show his dad how to “ shove along up ” and become more successful . So he started the YouTube channel and said , “ Hey ! How are you going to reinvent the Burt Gummer brand ? ” He taught Burt how to become more socially relevant on societal media and Burt taught him how to trace these monsters . How to take them down . So I always think that Graboids and Assblasters are in the same reality as Jurassic Park . It would be cool to be somewhere in Jurassic World , like a Tremors / Jurassic Park crossover . That would be sick .
SR : Who wins : Graboid or a T - Rex ?
JAMIE KENNEDY : You fuck what ? I think there ’s reciprocal respect there . I recall at the end of the 24-hour interval you ’re going to take care at it and you ’re fit to see the T - Rex is big and could win , but I intend the Graboids have their own strength , because they go underground and T - Rex ’s ca n’t . Then they have the Assblasters above them . So you ’ve acquire the atmosphere , the footing and the hoagie - ground , all covered . There could be a lot there .
SR : They ’re on even leg it when it come to arm distance , though .
JAMIE KENNEDY : * laughs * Yeah , Yes sir .
Tremors : A Cold Day in Hellis on Blu - Ray and DVD now .
