    Rant The Omen 2006

    OK 1 question.. WHY!!!

    For fucks sake the Omen is a classic! Why have they felt the need to re-make it!

    It's released on 06/06/06 - see what they have done there! 666

    This is not a good enough reason to re-release this movie! Some things should be left alone!

    Rant over.

    i disagree in the interim here

    the original was classic = yes

    the original left out quite a few bits from the book by David Seltzer (which you have probably not read) = yes

    the remake has stuck absolutley accuratley to the original movie = yes

    the remake includes all the scenes missing from the original that was in the book = yes

    trailer actually looks very cool = yes

    so with all these facts in place i will reserve my judgement until iv seen the movie - i had the same thought at first - but we shall see.......

    I will take you up on the book challenge and give that a go

    Then i'll reserve jusgement until I see them both.

    Trailer looked very much like the original which made me wonder why re-make it identically, however if it has extra bits from the book then fair enough.

    The only problem there however is that they could have been missed out of the original movie for a reason. This happens to a lot of movies, the shining for example. So much missing from the book, but when they re-made it into a two part TV series it was gash! (Shining one of my top 5 movies hence the reference).

    I'll grab the book next week, after which I may eat my own words. Cheers for making me have an open mind.

    from what ive heard the new film is the same as the old one probably the effects will be better, why do they make these old films all of the time-
    MONEY.
    and the stigma from the old film gaurantees they get arses on seats
    mind look on the bright side it has to be better than war of the worlds

    Yet another recycled and unoriginal piece of shit makes its way to the cinema... The omen had its day back in 1976.

    The remake is terrible.

    The book I've ordered is infact a 2006 re-print. I'll get through this then get the other 4 if they reprint them.
