As we learned earlier this year, 20th Century Studios has called upon the Antichrist once again with The First Omen, a brand new official prequel to their The Omen franchise.
Deadline reports today that Nell Tiger Free (“Servant”) will star in the upcoming film.
“Legion,” “Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block” and “Brand New Cherry Flavor” director Arkasha Stevenson will be making her feature directorial debut with The First Omen.
Stevenson will also handle the rewrite of the film, alongside writing partner Tim Smith. Smith is set to executive produce with Phantom Four producing.
The original 1976 classic, which starred Gregory Peck, Lee Remick and Harvey Stephens, followed an American ambassador who believes his five-year-old son is the Antichrist.
That film spawned three sequels, including 1978’s Damien: Omen II and 1981’s The Final Conflict, as well as the 2006 reboot. There was also a short-lived “Damien” television series.
