+ Story
A child that will
steer humankind down the road to hellfire has been born, and as his evil
flourishes in a world full of hate, the ominous Biblical prophecies slowly
begin falling into place in director John Moore's remake of Richard Donner's
1976 horror classic. Robert (Liev Schreiber) and Katherine Thorn (Julia
Stiles) were as loving parents as any young boy could ask for, but as fate
would have it, their new son Damien is far from the typical child. Now, as
the mysterious boy's growth begins to share frightening parallels with the
Biblical passages detailing the rise of the Antichrist, and the lives of all
who seek to reveal his true nature are cut gruesomely short, Robert and
Katherine are forced to face the horrifying prospect that their child has
been sent from Satan to hasten the fall of modern civilization, and that
there is little they can do to curb his prophesied path of ultimate
destruction.

+ Katherine
"We [the director]
felt that by making Robert and Katherine younger, they’d project the image
of a couple on the ascendancy of their lives, both personally and
professionally. While they’re educated and successful, they’re also young
and working hard to make their career and marriage work. It adds to their
confusion and shock when they begin to suspect, and then discover the truth
about Damien."
"I stuck
Julia
Stiles’
picture up on the board, and for weeks there was only one picture there. In
fact, hers was the only photo on the board for the role of Katherine
Thorn."

Stiles’s Katherine
Thorn is the story’s lone innocent because she’s unaware of the
circumstances surrounding the birth of her child. Of all the characters,
Katherine required the most updating from her incarnation in the original
film. "We couldn’t translate the Katherine character from the original ‘The
Omen’ because she was not really that layered," says producer Glenn
Williamson. Adds John Moore: "Social, personal and political perspectives on
motherhood have changed a lot in the past thirty years. In our story,
Katherine struggles with the fact that she’s a young woman, a stay-at-home
mother, living in a foreign country where she doesn’t have many friends. Her
personal conflict is agitated as Damien’s true nature is revealed."
Katherine evolves from a happy, confident young woman to a distraught mother
full of doubt and suspicion. "Katherine begins to feel a kind of detachment
from Damien, which she and Robert cannot understand," says Stiles. "Over
time, she realizes there’s some validity to her fear of her son. Adding to
her escalating troubles is the feeling that nobody’s listening to her. She
turns her anxiety inwards. It eats away at her until she eventually breaks
down."

Selma
says
"Actually, I was
terrified. The idea of THE OMEN really frightened me. But I knew there was
something in John’s vision for the film and character that I could really
sink my teeth into."
