Now this really is a rumour and Dread Central are touting it just as that, but it’s an interesting one.
I swung by Horror-Movies who vaguely report that Fox may be readying a new Omen film for, get this, June 6th, 2006.
Ah…6/6/06. Get it? GET IT?!
I say the source of this report is vague because it’s not clear where this information came from, but it apparently stems from some box office release date list.
The film in this list is entitled Omen 666 (natch) and that 20th Century Fox, the franchise’s rights holders, is behind it.
Very nice with the date, I like that. However they go on to say how bad Omen IV: The Awakening was compared to the originals, and you have to agree, that was a stinker of a movie. We can just pray that any move on a new Omen is nowhere near that movie and they do go to the original trilogy for their source and inspiration. Do you want to see another movie, or is the trilogy perfect enough?
