The First Omen?
On Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter broke news that a prequel to
The Omen was coming from 20th Century Fox. Appropriately titled The
First Omen, it’s being produced by David Goyer and Kevin Turen
through their Phantom Four production company and a script has
already been written by Ben Jacoby. Antonio Campos is in talks to
direct. Now… I don’t know who Jacoby is and I haven’t seen anything
by Campos or Turen. But I’m sure we’re all familiar with Goyer.
Initially, I assumed the news was about Platinum Dunes finally
gaining some traction on the Omen remake that Bloody Disgusting
reported on in 2014. But no – this is really about a prequel!
And I’m shocked. More so than I was about the Damien announcement. I mean, a prequel? How much story is …
