Hear we go again another re-make?
Good god, I bet Richard Donner is kicking himself, can’t Hollywood write anything original , we have now be plagued with remakes big time now since, since LOL I have lost count, we have had in the last few years “Flight of the Phoenix” “King Kong” etc, etc, etc, “Poseidon” “War of the Worlds” and now, this, this is what we call taking the piss hear in England, and I doubt that I would ever go to the cinema to see, I may wait till the dvd, and rent it out, go and figure now.

Re: The Omen - Remake
Even if I were to consider this movie, the kid they got to play Damian is all wrong! Way too "friendly" looking, the original Damian looked like new born death, famine, despair, all the evil of the world in the body of a toddler.
This new kid looks like Dennis the Menace with dark hair.

Re: The Omen - Remake
John
That’s what they said on “Multiplex” forums, the kids not even scary now, now take “Harvey Stephens” who played “Damien” in the original 1976 version gave me the creeps!

The Jerry Goldsmith score was indispensable for which it received the 1976 academy award for best score, spot on, I’d sooner they would had re-release the film not this, the re-make trend is now really getting out of hand, all for the sake of CGI and Dolby Digital soundtracks.
If they where to show the original “Omen” in THX! That would be scary now!

Re: The Omen - Remake
Everyone complains about remakes, including me. I'm kinda glad they remade King Kong though.

Oh yes, me too. I also really enjoyed the Poseidon remake, much better than expected.

You know what's funny, after looking at it so much the past few days around the forum, it's effect is wearing off of me. It's gone from being this terrifying demonic personification of pure evil, to the dude with no tan who hates pan-n-scan and open matte.
The face is your friend, just remember that and you'll be fine.
Or, this will be the first time in the history of the forum that a mod tells me to lose it because it's too scary for a board full of grown men and women lol.

Ugly face needs to go. Really. It's extremely distracting.

Re: The Omen - Remake
Well, I don't see any spelling errors in your post, Holadem, so how distracting could it possibly be? 
Your sig is distracting to me because i've been trying to figure out for the longest time what it is.

What I can't except is the way Hollywood is remaking these incredible Masterpieces in Film, and cheapening them with these remakes. If you are going to make a remake, at least do it justice with strong direction, acting, score, etc...

Uh, the real problem is that Hollywood is into remaking everything under the sun, "masterpiece" or not. The original Omen (1975) was a predictable, yawn-inspiring, formulaic conglomerate of elaborate, grisly set pieces. The man who (literally) plotted the original, David Seltzer, I note is given credit as writer on the upcoming remake.
If the original was "classic", it was classic Hollywood kitsch horror, not worth making in the first place, let alone deserving of a "remake". But it's all about the dollar signs. They'll "remake" anything.
