YOU'VE
YOU'VE GOT A GENETICALLY ENHANCED GIANT CARNIVOROUS FORM TH TUNNELING ABILITIES LOOSE
ON YOUR PRIVATE EYE SPECIES
SHOULD BE LEFT TO DIE.
>> WHAT IS THAT.
>> OH YOU HAVE THAT IS THE
LATEST FROM TREMORS SHRIEKER
ISLAND.
I'M SO EXCITED.
I'VE GOT ACTOR AND FELLOW
CHICAGO AND WELL FORMER CHICAGO
AND MICHAEL GROSS HERE WITH ME
WITH SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE
NEWEST INSTALLMENT.
GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN AND
MONSTERS WITH NO I'M SO
EXCITED.
>> WELL YOU PLAYING BURT GUMMER
IN THIS SERIES FOR WHAT LIKE
THREE DECADES NOW, RIGHT?
>> 30 YEARS.
WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?
I MEAN AS I'VE SAID IN THE PAST
HAD I WANTED STEADY WORK I
WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE
FOR A LIVING.
BUT HERE I AM 30 YEARS LATER
THE SEVENTH FILM IN THIS
FRANCHISE AND REALLY ENJOYING
THE OUT OF IT.
I TELL YOU I'M HAVING A GREAT
TIME.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHARACTER.
HE'S LIKE MINING COMIC GOLD FOR
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE
TREMORS MOVIES I SHOULD SAY
IT'S THIS GUY IS AN OBSESSIVE
COMPULSIVE PARANOID RIGHT WING
SURVIVALIST DOOMSDAY PROPER.
AND HE IS SO EXTREME PEX IT
RESULTS IN COMEDY.
OK.
YOU KNOW, HE'S HE'S GREAT.
HE'S WONDERFUL.
SO MICHAEL, YOU'RE SAYING HE'S
VERY CLOSE TO YOU IN REAL LIFE
RIGHT NOW?
>> YOU'RE NOT MY MOM.
>> THIS MIKE THIS IS THE WAY MY
WIFE KNOWS ME.
YES.
YES.
YES. YES.
YES. YES. >> SO HOW IS IT PLAYING THAT
CHARACTER?
>> I MEAN HOW DO YOU EVEN GET
STUFF DONE?
ARE YOU LAUGHING THE ENTIRE
TIME?
>> WELL, I I'M LAUGHING QUITE A
BIT BUT I MEAN IT'S IT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE ONE OF THE
ONE OF THE GREATEST COMIC
THINGS ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE HAS
NO SENSE OF HUMOR.
SO EVERYTHING EVERYTHING ABOUT
HIM IS SO DEADLY SERIOUS.
YEAH.
THAT WHAT THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM
FUNNY.
MY JOB IS TO STAY DEADLY
SERIOUS ALL THE TIME.
>> I I JENNY I HONESTLY DON'T
KNOW HOW IT'S HOW I WOULD
SURVIVE FOR THIS THIS PERIOD OF
TIME BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A THE
ORIGINAL WHICH CAME OUT IN
NINETEEN NINETY.
RIGHT.
1990 WAS NOT A HUGE HIT IN THE
THEATERS ALTHOUGH IT STARRED
KEVIN BACON AND REBA MCENTIRE
MYSELF FRED WARD WONDERFUL CAST
OF PEOPLE IT DIDN'T REALLY
CATCH ON UNTIL AFTER THAT IN
THE IN THE VIDEO MARKET.
THAT'S WHERE IT REALLY CAUGHT
ON BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THESE
RABID FANS AND THEY KEEP COMING
BACK.
GOD BLESS THEM.
AND I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'S I
DON'T KNOW I THINK IT'S A GOOD
HEARTED MONSTER MOVIE.
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN THAT.
I GUESS WHAT I MEAN IS IT'S AN
OLD FASHIONED FILM AND FAMILY
FRIENDLY IN A WAY BECAUSE HUMAN
BEINGS DON'T KILL EACH OTHER IN
THIS MOVIE.
THIS IS NOT A SLASHER FILM.
THEY'RE THE CHAIN SAWS AND ALL
THAT SORT OF THING.
PEOPLE IN DANGER.
PEOPLE IN DANGER NOT FROM OTHER
PEOPLE BUT FROM MONSTERS.
THE GOOD GUYS ARE THE HUMAN
BEINGS, THE BAD GUYS TO THE
MONSTERS IN THAT RESPECT.
IT'S IT'S VERY OLD FASHIONED
AND I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT
ABOUT COLD LATELY TOO AS IS
EVERYBODY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
IT'S SOMEWHAT INSTRUCTIVE THAT
IN ALL SEVEN FILMS YOU ALWAYS
TAKE A DISPARATE CRAZY OFFBEAT
GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT
LET ALONE NOT TALK TO EACH
OTHER AND LET ALONE BE FRIENDS
WHO SAY LOOK, LET'S ALL BURY
OUR DIFFERENCES RIGHT NOW.
WE'LL GET BACK TO THAT LATER
BURY THE HATCHET AND DEFEAT A
COMMON ENEMY ENEMY AS DIFFERENT
AS WE ARE.
DIFFERENT SKILL SETS, DIFFERENT
WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE WORLD.
>> SO ALL THESE WONDERFUL CRAZY
PEOPLE COME TOGETHER AND TO
DEFEAT THIS MONSTER, THESE
MONSTERS.
SO IN THAT RESPECT IT'S LIKE AN
OLD FASHIONED 50S MONSTERS
MOVIE.
YOU KNOW, I LOOK A KINDER,
GENTLER MONSTER, RIGHT?
>> WELL, AND YOU KNOW, APROPOS
TO THE TIMES WHERE OUR COMMON
MONSTER IS COVERED 19 I'M YOU
KNOW, I'M SUPER EXCITED BUT
TREMORS BUT I HAVE TO I'M
REALLY EXCITED.
I USED TO WATCH YOU YOU PLAYED
STEPHEN KING AND IF PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW ON FAMILY TIES AND
THAT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
SHOWS GROWING UP YOU'RE
PROBABLY I'M SURPRISED YOU'RE
OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT
BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME 30 YEARS
.
>> BUT THEN THAT WAS A.
THAT WAS ANOTHER GREAT PIECE
WHERE THOSE POLITICAL
DIFFERENCES IN THE FAMILY WERE
GREAT.
>> YEAH.
WE HAD A SON WHO WAS EXTREMELY
CONSERVATIVE.
THE PARENTS WERE CHILDREN OF
THE 60S.
AND YET AGAIN WE FOUND THE
COMMON LOVE.
SO I THINK TO MYSELF, WOW,
BEING A PART OF TWO BIG
FRANCHISES THAT HAVE THAT HAVE
THEY'RE ALL ABOUT
RECONCILIATION IN A FUNNY WAY.
AND I'M A VERY PROUD WE'VE BEEN
A PART OF THAT BECAUSE I LOVE
THAT.
I LOVE THAT IN THE BIT.
THE BEST WRITING THE MOST
WONDERFUL CAST.
MICHAEL J.
FOX.
MEREDITH BAXTER.
