Action-packed Tremors 4: The Legend Begins – prequel to the original theatrical hit Tremors — shakes up viewers by exploring the origins of the unforgettable underground creatures that made the original a cult classic and spawned a successful DVD premiere franchise. Releasing January 2, 2004, the prequel benefits from the return of many Tremors creators and talent, including star Michael Gross (Tremors 1,2,3; Batman Beyond: The Movie) and writer S.S. Wilson (Wild Wild West, Heart and Souls), who wrote Tremors 1 and wrote and directed Tremors 2, returns to write and direct Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. As an added bonus, viewers will receive a free copy of Tremors on DVD when they purchase Tremors 4: The Legend Begins on DVD. Pre-order close for the DVD is November 25, 2003 and for the VHS on December 9, 2003. The Tremors 4: The Legend Begins/Tremors DVD Prequel Pack is priced at $26.98 SRP ($19.95 MAP).
When workers in the remote mining town of Rejection, Nevada fall victim to an unseen predator, the mine’s city slicker owner, Hiram Gummer (Michael Gross), great-grandfather to Tremors’ Burt Gummer, hires a mercenary to destroy the carnivorous creatures before they swallow up his profits. What follows is an all-out assault that takes the battleground from deep in the earth to a suspense-filled showdown on the streets of Rejection.
Bonus features adding to the thrills and gags include ‘Special Effects Featurette: The Graboids Strike’, heart-stopping deleted scenes and a hilarious gag reel. The many avid fans of the franchise will appreciate the features ‘On the set of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins,’ The Tremors 4: The Legend Begins miniatures, and a feature commentary with director S.S. Wilson.
