Sci-Fi's Hammer talks TREMORS series

In an exclusive interview with our own Eric Moro, Sci-Fi Channel President Bonnie Hammer hinted Michael Gross, once of FAMILY TIES and then star of the cult-monster hit TREMORS, may be coming to the Sci-Fi channel when the monster movie series becomes a Sci-Fi series.

"First of all, we've aired the three TREMORS movies and without any off channel marketing they have been ratings successes for us," Hammer said, on why the channel decided on a TREMORS series. "We know we have strong fanbase a male action-oriented, 'Give us creatures, give us aliens, give us all of these otherworldly things and put them on the air and we'll watch, especially if they're action-based' [type of fan]. And now with Michael Gross involved, they're absolute winners."

So Gross will be involved? Maybe...

"Well, we think so. We're holding out for Michael," Hammer said, revealing also, "We have the original creators. We have a show runner [David Israel] who loves this kind of stuff and we're very, very excited about it."

TREMORS the TV series is slated to premiere on the channel in January, 2003.
