The Omen Unveiled: In confirmation of a new addition to The Omen, franchise surfaced. Despite Hollywood disruptions in 2023 due to writers’ and actors’ strikes, today marks our first glimpse at footage from the upcoming film The First Omen. The unveiled trailer teaser offers a brief preview, building anticipation for tomorrow’s full trailer debut and the film’s arrival in just a few months on April 5th.
Described as follows, the movie follows a young American woman sent to Rome for a life of service to the church. Her encounter with darkness leads her to question her faith, unraveling a terrifying conspiracy aiming to bring forth the birth of evil incarnate.
The First Omen features a cast including Nell Tiger Free (Servant), Tawfeek Barhom (Mary Magdalene), Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman), Ralph Ineson (The Northman), and Bill Nighy (Living). Arkasha Stevenson directs the film, based on characters created by David Seltzer (The Omen), with a story by Ben Jacoby (Bleed) and a screenplay by Tim Smith & Arkasha Stevenson and Keith Thomas (Firestarter). Producers include David S. Goyer (Hellraiser) and Keith Levine (The Night House), with executive producers Tim Smith, Whitney Brown (Rosaline), and Gracie Wheelan.
The original Omen centered on a young boy entwined in supernatural events, leading his father to believe he is the Antichrist. The film spawned two sequels and a 2006 reboot. Despite a failed ’90s TV series pilot, a 2016 A&E TV series sequel, Damien, aired for one season.
This revival follows last year’s The Exorcist: Believer, a direct sequel to the 1973 classic. The First Omen is scheduled to hit theaters on April 5th.
