Another Entry In The Omen Franchise Nobody Asked For
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. Producers on the film are David S. Goyer and Keith Levine, and executive producers are Tim Smith, Whitney Brown, and Gracie Wheelan.
The last franchise that needed a new entry was The Omen. They have been trying to get a new film off the ground since 2016, and none of the movies since the 1976 original have lived up to the standards set by the first. That includes a remake from 2006 that was a complete failure. I try not to pass judgment until I see these things, but this has "cash grab" written all over it. The original is such an iconic film, and not everything needs a prequel or sequel. They should have learned that lesson back in the 70's, but this is horror we are talking about; if there is a dollar to be made off a recognizable name, they will go for it. I would expect to see a trailer for this one before the end of 2023
