The First Omen is a 2017 American supernatural horror movie prequel to the 1976 smash hit The Omen, to be directed by Antonio Campos (Afterschool; Simon Killer) from a screenplay by Ben Jacoby (Bleed).
The film is being produced by David Goyer (The Forest) and Kevin Turen via their Phantom Four banner for 20th Century Fox.
The original Omen went on to spawn two direct sequels, Damien: Omen II in 1978 and Omen III: The Final Conflict in 1981, plus a TV movie continuation. A reasonably successful theatrical remake of the film emerged in 2006 and there is currently a TV series about the exploits of grown-up Damien.
