Kevin Bacon is totally up for rebooting Tremors

THIS year marks the 25 year anniversary of cult horror classic Tremors, and its star Kevin Bacon says he’d love to reboot the movie. And by reboot he means ignore all the shockingly bad sequels and revisit his character Valentine McKee a quarter century later from when he helped rid a small town of giant man-eating worms.

“It’s a surprisingly good movie, I remember it being a little sillier than it is,” Kevin told. “Valentine is the only character that I’ve ever done that I’m interested in revisiting 25 years on.”

Meanwhile, Disney has already announced a live-action Aladdin, an animated film in which Williams had voiced over a starring role. But fans are still not happy and their outrage is quite evident on social media.
