The seventh film in the cult classicTremorsseriesTremors: Island Furybegan filming in Thailand last week. And to celebrate the beginning of principal photography, the officialTremorsInstagram page shared a fun video intro with Gross looking like a homeless Santa Clause. And before you say anything, I know what you’re thinking. Is that Napoleon Dynamite and Flaca fromOrange Is the New Blackhanging out with the South Bend Shovel Slayer on vacation? And to that question, I have to say, yes, crazy as it sounds, yes that is Jon Heder and Jackie Cruz hugging all up on the newMy Name is Earlversion of Burt Gummer.
