Yet Another Remake Of "The Omen" Is On The Way

Bloody-Disgusting reports that Fox and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes are teaming up again for a second reboot of The Omen franchise.

No filmmakers are attached at this time.


The original 1976 is a classic that starred Hollywood legend Gregory Peck and Lee Remick. Directed by Richard Donner, the film works on so many levels, that despite its age still holds up very well even by today's standards.

Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles starred in the horrible John Moore-directed 2006 remake. 

The news comes a month after it was announced that Lifetime Network is developing a TV series adaptation of the original movie, with former "Walking Dead" showrunner  Glen Mazzara writing the pilot and executive producing the show.

The series plans to essentially ignores any of the sequels, opting to explore a now adult Damien Thorn who is haunted by his turbulent past and coming to grips with the fact that he is actually the Antichrist.
