Back in May we reported that Lifetime was developing “Damien,” a television followup to the 1976 The Omen.

While that continues to be worked on with “The Walking Dead” showrunner Glen Mazzara, sources tell Bloody Disgusting exclusively that Twentieth Century Fox is hoping to bring Damien Thorn back to theaters. We’re told that FOX is working with Platinum Dunes to develop a second The Omen remake. I guess remakes are dead and studios are officially moving onto re-remakes?

John Moore directed the 2006 remake starring Liev Schreiber, Julia Stiles and Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick. Released on 06-06-06, the remake was moderately successful pulling in $120M worldwide on a $25M budget.

Richard Donner helmed the original that begins when mysterious deaths surround an American ambassador leaving him wondering if the child that he is raising is the Anti-Christ. The film starred Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, alongside Harvey Stephens as Damien.

Platinum Dunes will see the release of The Purge: Anarchy this summer, and has been behind a wide variety of remakes from Friday the 13th to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror and even A Nightmare On Elm Street.

“Did I scare you, Mommy? I didn’t mean to.”

The remake in 2006 was bad, one of the most pointless remakes ever!, I not sure what would what remake yet again!

I can see it coming out 2016, 6,6 ,

Whats the point? I am open to a remake 20/30 years after the original but 8 years? Pfft.

Just to rip into the article though it says The Omen was a moderate success making 120 million I think that's pretty ****ing successful personally but I think the remake SUCKED.

I honestly hate Platinum Dunes, all they do is remake horror films from my childhood and turn them into shiny, polished music videos with no depth or feeling.

I cant believe I even contributed money to watch the remake of A nightmare On Elm Street. Every character was like a cardboard cut out with no personality and Rooney Mara even said she almost quit the business as it was that **** lol.
