"The Omen" Scares Up Two Stars
Not long ago we informed you that John Moore ("Flight of the Phoenix") was hired by Fox to helm their remake of "The Omen," and now comes word (from Variety) that actors Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles are close to signing contracts to star.
Schreiber ("The Manchurian Candidate") would play the Gregory Peck role, Stiles ("Save the Last Dance") the Lee Remick role.
Working from an adapted screenplay by Dan McDermott, the new "Omen" is set to begin production this October.

on Aug 10 2005 08:20 AM [b]The Omen[/b] Why don't they just re-release the original to theaters like they did The Exorcist? It would probably end up making more money. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 10 2005 10:50 AM [b]re-release[/b] Jaws for its 30th anniversary. Of course, it is too late now but that is what I would have done. I am sure it would have made a few bucks. As far as Omen they should just call it Omen V on second thought ugh I cant stand to think of another re-make or sequel (Reply to this) |

on Aug 11 2005 10:21 AM In reply to this comment (#824976) But if I'm remembering the book right (it's been a while since I've read it) Liev is closer in age to the character described in the book. Peck was actually too old for the part in the original. Julia Stiles is a bit young, but she's pretty, so I guess that helps. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 12 2005 08:40 AM In reply to this comment (#824978) Oh, come on! If they remake CitizenKane with a hot 20-something cast from various WB shows, it'll be a modern classic, no doubt! Lotsa product placements, too! (Reply to this) |
