20th Century Studios has revealed the chilling first trailer, and new poster, for The First Omen, a prequel to the terrifying classic.
What better way to kick off the New Year than with some all new movie trailers! This morning brings our first look at the upcoming horror flick, The First Omen:
I’m honestly not sure what to think here. The trailer doesn’t do a whole lot, but I greatly appreciate the fact it doesn’t rely on common horror trailer tropes to sell itself. Instead it’s more about the tone, rather than hammering you with jumpscares. It’s definitely an intriguing approach and leaves me more interested in this prequel than I was.
When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate. “The First Omen” stars Nell Tiger Free (“Servant”), Tawfeek Barhom (“Mary Magdalene”), Sonia Braga (“Kiss of the Spider Woman”), Ralph Ineson (“The Northman”), and Bill Nighy (“Living”).
The film is directed by Arkasha Stevenson based on characters created by David Seltzer (“The Omen”), with a story by Ben Jacoby (“Bleed”) and a screenplay by Tim Smith & Arkasha Stevenson and Keith Thomas (“Firestarter”). The producers are David S. Goyer (“Hellraiser”) and Keith Levine (“The Night House”) and the executive producers are Tim Smith, Whitney Brown (“Rosaline”), and Gracie Wheelan.
The First Omen hits theaters on April 5, 2024.
