6.28 Another Remake For 'The Omen':



Uggggg here we go again - It appears that 20th Century Fox and Platinum Dunes are gearing up to remake 'The Omen', once again.. As of right now the project does not have a director, so clearly the film is in the early development stage..

This will be the second remake for The Omen, back in 2006 Fox released the first remake starring Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles.. The film received mixed reviews but did go on to earn around $120M worldwide on a $25M budget.. Not a good film at all..


In 1976 Richard Donner's classic was released, starring Gregory Peck And Lee Remick.. The film was a boxoffice smash, the story centered around mysterious deaths surrounding an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the anti-christ? The devil's own son? Donner went on to direct Superman...

Last month it was reported that The lifetime Network was moving forward with a tv series titled 'Damien', the series will center around an older Damien.. Glen Mazzara (The Walking Dead), will be overseeing the project.. To be honest I have always thought the story of Damien (Antichrist), would work great as a series.. But I'm not sure if Lifetime is the network to pull it off..
