Fox Wants Moore for Their "Omen" Remake
Fox has hired director John Moore to helm "The Omen 666," a remake of the 1976 Richard Donner hit about a demonic little kid and the people near him who keep dying.
Variety reports that the fast-tracked project will begin production on October 3rd. Newbie screenwriter Dan McDermott has been tapped to adapt David Seltzer's original screenplay.
"The Omen 666" will mark Mr. Moore's third film, after "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Flight of the Phoenix."

on Jul 21 2005 07:24 AM [b]Stupid remake[/b] I think this film is a classic, the people remember the original film directed by Donner and acted by the legendary Gregory Peck. Which actor is as good as Gregory Peck nowadays???. If this film hits the big screen i will never watch it!. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 26 2005 04:01 PM In reply to this comment (#824412) Good job! Now that you've put the idea out there, I expect to read in HR next week that Michael Bay is directing it, based on a script by Avika Goldsman. (Reply to this) |
