We got another EXORCIST this year with more on the way, so why not another OMEN?
20th Century Studios has announced that THE FIRST OMEN, the prequel to the classic horror trilogy launched by THE OMEN in 1976, will open exclusively in theaters April 5, 2024, and released the first image seen above. The director is Arkasha Stevenson, who has done episodes of CHANNEL ZERO, LEGION and BRAND NEW CHERRY FLAVOR, from a script by Tim Smith, Stevenson and Keith Thomas (THE VIGIL). David S. Goyer and Keith Levine (THE NIGHT HOUSE) were the producers. Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom, Sonia Braga, Ralph Ineson (THE WITCH) and Bill Nighy (SHAUN OF THE DEAD) star; the synopsis: “When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.”
