Teaser Bulletin: Omen 666
by Scott Weinberg | January 27, 2006
Discuss Article
In a year that promises a whole bunch of horror remakes (some welcome, some not) there's one that's sure to cause a bunch of tongue-wagging, and it's John Moore's redo of "The Omen," which opens on a Tuesday just so it can take advantage of the 6/6/06 release date. Clever, eh? Anyway, check out the teaser trailer right here.

Currently known as "Omen 666," this remake comes from the director of "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Flight of the Phoenix," and stars Liev Schrieber, Julia Stiles, Mia Farrow, David Thewlis, Michael Gambon, and Pete Postlethwaite. The scribe on adaptation duty is first-timer Dan McDermott.

The story's about... well, jeez, if you don't know what "The Omen" is about, there's a title you should just toss onto your Netflix queue right now! The 1976 original was directed by Richard Donner, and was followed by "Damien: Omen 2" (1978), "The Final Conflict" (1981), and a 1991 TV flick called "Omen 4: The Awakening."

I thought the trailer was just... dumb.... I mean, clever that's it's being released on 6/6/06, but that's all it has coming for me right now.

I would like remake of omen.. Only if it can live up to the original. Let's hope that the movie isnt near done and that the kid dies before they can finish it, cuz he is just not scary. Watch the orginal and enjoy it before its the remake comes out.

i hate to say it, but im losing my faith in horror. dont get me wrong, id rather sit through the texas chainsaw masscre remake again or ever *god forbid* House of wax, than watch another screwball teen comedy, but the genre is consistently dissapointing me. Wolf Creek instilled some hope, and am throughroughly looking forward to writer/director Greg McLean's next effort- Rogue, which is about a cgi crocodile eating people. Its got Michael Vartan in it. anyway, if i hear of another horror remake in the next 6 months, il prey for death at the hands of a sadistic psycho in the australian outback

Problem is that flicks like Wolf Creek and Haute Tension don't do too well at the big B.O, while stuff like the Grudge makes a 100 mil..ain't fair.
