The Tremors rights are back in the hands of Stampede Entertainment (www.joblo.com)

The copyright to the original Tremors screenplay is now back in the hands of its creators at Stampede Entertainment

In short, Stampede created Tremors, it's three sequels and the 13 episode television series. They wrote a script for a fifth film, but Universal decided that it didn't want any help from the creators.

Universal went ahead with its own ideas and created films 5, 6 & 7, which are frankly crap. Now Stampede has the rights back to the original film, they can make their own sequels with graboids and characters from that first story. They can't use anyone, or creatures from the rest of the film series. That's a bit of a shame as I really like the Shriekers from Tremors 2.

I just realized that the poster shows a lot of teeth on the tremors, but the article has a good shot of a tremor and they have no teeth whatsoever.

I believe that's actually one of the tongue worm things on the poster

I really wonder how thumbnails work, because the thumbnail for this post is the poster art, but I don't see it anywhere in the linked article. Anyway, I was thinking about this poster:

Honestly I think we're both a little right here. That's definitely one of the tongue worms that comes out of the graboid's mouth, but I do believe they added more teeth than it actually has in the movie 😂

Spoiler for the first film

What's on the poster is actually the "tongue" of a Graboid, the strange worm creatures of the series. In fact they have three "tounges".

Continuing your spoiler for the first film

Oh, that makes more sense. The scale makes it look like it should be the full graboid, not just one of the tongues.
