Based on reports from Bloody Disgusting, Stampede Entertainment, who produced the original 1990 Tremors movie and its first three sequels, have scored a significant win by acquiring the rights to the script of the initial film. Directors Ron Underwood, producers Nancy Roberts, and writers Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson now have the opportunity to push the Tremors franchise further if they wish, as the town of Perfection (tormented by “graboids”) is their new playground. In a statement on their website, the team expresses their aim for the franchise is to bring it back to Perfection. However, they are not yet confirming the return of Bacon as Valentine, but only hint at the possibility.

Chief Reid asks Voight to help find a stolen Toyota containing drugs linked to Jesus Otero, a criminal with whom Reid has a close bond. However, when Torres resumes work, he makes some questionable choices that bring him into the crosshairs of both men. With other One Chicago characters set to depart soon, there’s cause for concern regarding Torres.

The upcoming show will feature the return of the quick-thinking physicist Barry Kripke, played by John Ross Bowie, and the endearingly awkward geologist Bert Kibbler, portrayed by Brian Posehn. On observing this group, viewers might notice a strong resemblance to the initial Pasadena crew, as it seems to fill each character archetype introduced in “The Big Bang Theory”. However, the new circle of friends is currently lacking a stand-in for one of the primary characters from the original series (and that’s definitely a good thing).

In order to steer clear of the pitfalls that sunk the Velma series, this upcoming one should maintain the essence of Scooby-Doo – its heart and spirit. While heavier themes have been tackled in the past without losing sight of the original, it’s crucial for the new series to strike a balance between staying true to the franchise and catering to an older audience. This is key to success, although some traditional fans may remain skeptical. Still, reinventing and taking risks with a 55+ year-old property can breathe fresh life into it – as long as the execution is on point.

It’s worth noting that even George Lucas himself admitted to regretting the decision to kill off Maul in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” back in 1999. Since then, he has expressed this regret and even considered bringing him back for “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”. Lucas’ initial plans for the “Star Wars” sequels heavily involved Maul, but Disney’s trilogy took a different path. This underscores that Maul’s original demise was indeed an error, as evidenced by his four resurrections in the “Star Wars” universe.

For the first time at CinemaCon 2025, Amazon made an appearance, sparking anticipation for potential Bond news throughout TopMob’s live blog of the event. However, the most we received was the announcement that some work has “commenced” in London. Nonetheless, this wasn’t particularly significant since the film I can’t stop thinking about is one featuring Hugh Jackman and his sheep solving a murder mystery instead.
