The film, directed by Arkasha Stevenson, is based on David Seltzer's characters. Ben Jacoby wrote the plot, while Tim Smith, Arkasha Stevenson, and Keith Thomas wrote the script. David S. Goyer and Keith Levine produce, with Tim Smith, Whitney Brown, and Gracie Wheelan serving as executive producers.
The Omen has had three sequels, the most recent of which, released in 2006, starred Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles as Robert and Katherine. Given the cost-effectiveness of horror films, which frequently have modest budgets and can attract large crowds, 20th Century Studios is likely planning further episodes.Â
In the original film The Omen, Gregory Peck played an ambassador who believes his little kid is the physical embodiment of the Antichrist.
